The Wheatley School’s Jaden Zhu (eighth grade) and Dian Yang (senior) have achieved an impressive feat, ranking among the top 2.5% of all participants in the American Mathematics Competition (AMC)—a prestigious test of critical thinking and problem-solving skills taken by over 300,000 students nationwide.

Their outstanding performance has earned them an invitation to the highly selective American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), a significant honor in the world of competitive mathematics.

Congratulations to Jaden, Dian, and their dedicated coach, Rudy Wu, on this remarkable achievement!
