What Beast Academy is
Beast Academy is an elementary math curriculum from Art of Problem Solving. The company says it combines comic-style stories, puzzles and lessons to teach advanced math.
It is made for ages 6 to 13 and has five levels. Families can use printed books, a self-paced online program with videos and chapter tests, or both. Small live online classes are offered for Levels 2 to 5. The company suggests starting about one level below a student's current grade, because the program is challenging.
