Online Classes

Stella Academy now offers online classes in Math, English, Computer Science, French, Russian, and Science. Some classes involve puppets: the approach significantly decreases emotional load on our young students. A new class, Math and French for 4-6 year old students is currently offered online, too.   

Stella Academy students participated in Joint Mathematical Meeting

Our students participated in Joint Math Meeting in January, 2016 with oral presentation. Five thousands scientists attended the meeting. JMM-2016 is one of the largest math meeting in the world.

Our congratulations to our students, Sasha, Ethan, and Ryan, who became published authors!
