About ACSIMC
The Academic Competition Subworld Initiative Mathematics Competition (ACSIMC) is an online mathematics competition run through the nonprofit organization Schoolhouse.world, a platform that promotes free, global access to education. Hosted every few months, the competition allows participants to test their mathematical skills in four categories: algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory. The ACSIMC features three rounds: Archimedes (Easy), Stokes (Intermediate), and Rutherford (Hard). Since Schoolhouse contains students in diverse mathematical expertise levels, participants are allowed to choose the one round they participate in.

About Schoolhouse
Schoolhouse is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect the world through education. Through various “Subworlds,” Schoolhouse offers peer-to-peer tutoring via Zoom for anyone in any time zone, allowing students to receive live help at any hour. One of the principal ideas of Schoolhouse is that one is always a learner. Whether one is tutoring or being tutored, feedback is an integral aspect of the Schoolhouse experience: learners give feedback to their tutor, and tutors can give feedback to their learners. Tutors can learn from their weak spots both to become a stronger tutor and to become more knowledgeable themself about the subject they’re tutoring in. The following is excerpted from Schoolhouse’s “About Schoolhouse.world” exposition:

“We are a non-profit with the mission of connecting the world with free, peer-to-peer tutoring. We offer free, virtual tutoring programs for high school students. We were founded by Sal Khan of Khan Academy in 2020 and have supported 100,000+ students so far.

Note: All programs are 100% free thanks to our generous donors and our volunteer tutors. We do not have any paid offerings. We also take student privacy very seriously, maintain high PII standards, and will never sell or share your student’s information.”
