The PRIME (PRISMS Invitational Math Event) is an annual fun and challenging math competition for middle-school students held at Princeton International School for Mathematics and Science (PRISMS) at 19 Lambert Dr., Princeton, NJ.

Led by Joseph Li, one of the former coaches of the Chinese Math Olympiad team and now Principal at PRISMS, and supported by PRISMS students, the PRIME will also offer guest speakers Peter Peng and Andy Chen, two young stars in the math field and Gold Medalists at the International Math Olympiad. This makes the PRIME a unique and interesting opportunity for any 6th-8th grader who loves math.

With Mr. Li in charge, there is sure to be much fun!

Why Attend the PRIME?

There are as many reasons to join us as there are eager middle school math students. We think these reasons are particularly good:

Advance Your Skills

Our competition is exclusively for 6th-8th graders, providing an excellent opportunity to meet new friends and build skills in a crazy fun setting.

It Suits Your Need

If you are planning to attend EMCC this January, you can use us as a competitive warm-up. If you haven't, you'll still get the real-deal experience and see your potential.
