Our five academic programs

A path built for progress.

Start with strong fundamentals, then develop the mathematics and advanced physics needed for higher-level study and Olympiad preparation. Each course builds skills for the next challenge.

  1. 01

    AP Physics 1

    Conceptual foundations

  2. 02

    AP Calculus BC

    Mathematical tools

  3. 03

    F=ma / AP Physics C: Mechanics

    Calculus-based mechanics

  4. 04

    AP Physics C: E&M

    Electricity and magnetism

  5. 05

    USAPhO Second-Round

    Olympiad-level preparation

A flexible pathway: This is a typical sequence, not a fixed requirement for every student. Course eligibility and progression depend on completed coursework, readiness, grade level, and goals. Course-specific prerequisites still apply.

The Tang Academy approach

Depth in the way we learn.

Our programs emphasize deep understanding over memorization. Students are encouraged to explain ideas, build clear mathematical reasoning, and solve demanding unfamiliar problems.

01

Understand
the principle.

Develop physical intuition and connect fundamental concepts across topics.

02

Reason through
the problem.

Build disciplined analytical habits with equations, diagrams, and clear explanations.

03

Prepare for
the challenge.

Progress from AP-level foundations to advanced physics and Olympiad problem-solving.

Serious learning.
Wherever you are.

Classes are offered online. Instructional courses use recorded lectures, while F=ma practice tests are conducted live on Zoom. Viewing schedules and entry requirements vary by program.
