The José Valdés Math Institute is an organization whose mission is to improve students' skills in math and
close the achievement gap in San Jose and Silicon Valley.
The original vision of Mr. José Valdés was to ensure
that minority and underrepresented children be given equal
opportunities to succeed in mathematics. This ideal provides the
foundation of our philosophy at Valdés.

Testimonials
I have been a Science teacher for the past 13 years, and I have been a part of the José Valdés Summer Math Institute program since 2002. I have had the on-going opportunity to serve as a Math 2 teacher, a Math 3 teacher, and a site principal. In my opinion, the unique collaboration of motivated students, dedicated teachers and supportive parents is the cornerstone of the program’s effectiveness in bolstering student math achievement and in closing the achievement gap. During the summer of 2002, I witnessed first hand the incredible success of this intensive summer math program. After a total of six weeks, five days per week, and seven hours of math instruction per day, my students were able to triple their averaged test scores. I think that, if I had not witnessed it with my own eyes, I never would have believed it. Needless to say, I have been involved with the Valdés Summer Math Institute program ever since.
