Fares Sabawi writes about the launching of a new math camp program, which will launch on Monday at the Corpus Christi Independent School district. The camp, which was made possible by a multi-party coalition, expects to have 29 students attend this camp, which was purposed towards students who struggle with the topic.

If your child is struggling with math there are camps that can help.

A new math camp will support students who need some extra help.

The program will host students from Zavala, Oak Parks Gibson, Crockett, and Garcia elementary schools, and organizers hope to expand the students they can help in the years to come. Students who enroll in this program will receive a backpack and a compliment of school supplies to start out the school year.

A partnership has been forged in the name of math. To help Corpus Christi Independent School District students who struggle with the subject, a math camp program will kick off Monday.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
