No, all courses are designed to prepare you to excel in various competitions, albeit covering different projects and thus exercising projects of varying modes of difficulty. Additionally, we introduce some programming competitions that our students have traditionally participated in and integrate competition-level assignments within our curriculum.

For more details on our student competition outcomes, please view our Events & Competitions page.

If you are interested in applying to become a teaching staff member, we thank you for your interest. We are currently not taking new teachers or administrators, but will update our website in the future given that a position becomes available.

If you are interested in applying to become a teaching assistant, we thank you for your interest and look forward to onboarding rising new teaching assistants (TAs), which will place you in the leadership team. To become a course teaching assistant, it is mandatory for students to complete the corresponding course (i.e., MIT AI 101 - Programming Skills) and achieve a 90%+ submission rate for all labs and homework assignments to be eligible for consideration.

Upon the completion of a course and depending on the availability of TA positions, teachers may post a TA Application Form into discussion channels to allow those interested in applying. Our mode of communication with this form occurs through Discord that is only accessible internally to course registered students. If you have further questions about TA’ing at ArcGen Academy, please send an inquiry through our Contact Form.

Our courses are designed for students in grades 6-12.

All courses and their materials are conducted virtually.

​We only teach and communicate in English. While some of our staff are fluent in Mandarin and can give brief accommodations, all courses are taught in one language to keep the learning content consistent.

No, this is not a requirement; however, the course and office hour times will be based in USA time zones. It is the student's responsibility to access course content whether it be through lectures or office hours accordingly, regardless of whether or not they are located in the US.

We give 100% refund before the 2nd lesson. Afterwards, there is no eligibility for a refund. ​

Our course descriptions are available in both Mandarin and English.

We have a Contact Form that is open to additional inquiries. We regularly check for new inquiries and will respond within 1-2 business days.
