Description
Columbia University's Pre-College Programs offer high-achieving high school students the opportunity to engage in exploratory coursework at the college level, studying alongside peers from around the world. This highly selective program is open to students entering grades 9 and through the summer following their senior year.
Columbia University’s Pre-College Programs for high school students is seeking qualified candidates to develop and teach on-campus courses during Summer ’26.
Reporting to the Senior Director of Instruction and Curriculum for Pre-College Programs, Pre-College instructors develop and deliver immersive non-credit courses for high-achieving high school students. They guide and supervise students when classes are in session, and write a holistic evaluation of each course participant after classes conclude.
For more information on the program–including course sessions and times–please see here .
Course Description
This course focuses on theoretical mathematics that is not typically part of a traditional high school curriculum. The course covers a variety of topics including: logic, set theory, number theory and combinatorics. Throughout the course, an emphasis will be placed on proofs and different techniques of proofs, including mathematical induction, direct proof and proof by contradiction. While some applications will be considered, this course will primarily focus on theoretical concepts.
This course is titled A Bridge to Higher Mathematics because it will help teach students the mathematical reasoning and proof-writing skills that they will need for higher-level university mathematics and, more generally, STEM courses. It will give students a path for learning the skills that they need to succeed in higher-level mathematics.
Prerequisite: Algebra 1. Algebra 2 is recommended but not required.
