About PROMYS Pathways PROMYS Pathways is a comprehensive initiative to provide low-income and underrepresented pre-college students in the greater Boston area with deep mathematical experiences. Its precursor, PROMYS Math Circle (PMC), was launched in 2017 and has provided free extracurricular math circles and collaborative events to over 500 students in local high-needs schools. Since its inception, 14 PMC students have attended the flagship PROMYS program and thrived given the selectivity and rigor of PROMYS.

Organization Summary For over 30 years, the Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists (PROMYS) has been synonymous with deep exploratory mathematical learning for talented high school students and secondary teachers. Founded in 1989 at Boston University, the PROMYS flagship program is a six-week summer immersion in mathematics for talented high school students who are selected from across the US and around the globe. A parallel program, PROMYS for Teachers (PfT), provides secondary teachers from mostly the US with a similar immersion in mathematics. A third program, PROMYS Math Circle (PMC), was launched in 2017, as part of enhanced efforts to reach mathematically talented students from backgrounds that are low-income and traditionally underrepresented in STEM.
