For us, it’s personal
Founder Si Swun is, like so many other Americans, an immigrant to this nation.  As a new student in an unfamiliar land, he struggled with learning math--an experience that spurred him to return to the classroom, this time as a math teacher in the late 1990s.  Drawing on his childhood challenges, Si Swun created an intuitive, in-depth curriculum--the very lessons he wished he could have had as a student.

Si Swun’s students progressed rapidly, exhibiting outstanding achievements in math.  As word spread of Swun’s success, district leaders took notice, tasking him to bring his unique model to other, low-performing schools in the district.  Soon after, Swun founded Swun Math, which was recruited to other Southern California districts, and now serves schools and districts throughout the state.

Swun Math design and philosophy
Swun Math is grounded in a progressive, organic lesson design, drawing from best practices, We scaffold our materials to ensure a natural progression of learning, and we strike the perfect balance of teacher guidance and student responsibility. 

Extensive, effective professional development
From careful data analysis, interviews, and classroom observations, we customize professional development based on the needs of a school or district.  Such programs include grade specific training, demo lessons, co-planning, co-teaching, and when appropriate, seamlessly integrating Swun Math lesson design and strategies into existing math curricula. 

Our promise to you
Unlike other professional development companies, which often provide scattered, one-off seminars, we prefer to build deep partnerships with our client schools and districts.  As seasoned professionals with proven skills in classroom management, lesson planning, and instructional design--we understand the value of trust and transparency, as well as building a sustainable relationship.

In other words, we’re in it for the long haul.
