The Laureate Exam

What to Expect

The Laureate Programme is Dipolio's most selective offering: accelerated group classes taught well beyond the school syllabus, across the disciplines the practice serves. Admission is examined, cohorts are small, and the standard is uncompromising. It exists for students capable of becoming the best at what they do.

❋ Faculty-Level Instruction

Classes are taught by instructors of genuine academic distinction: specialists holding doctoral credentials in the subject they teach, selected by the practice for this programme alone. 

❋ Accelerated Streams

Entry is by nomination or direct application, and every candidate sits the same entrance examination. In a group programme, the other students in the room are part of the environment, so the standard is protected without exception.

❋ Trained to National Standard

Laureate students are prepared for the most demanding academic competitions and honours in the country. The measure of progress is not the school report but the national field, students learn what it takes to stand among the best of their generation, and then they are trained to do it.

❋ The Commitment

Cohorts train on a fixed weekly schedule: six hours across three two-hour classes and full attendance is a condition of enrolment. Excellence at this level compounds; the programme is built for families prepared to treat it as a priority.

Who Leads the Cohort

Dr. Amin Soofiani
Lead Educator, Laureate Mathematics

Dr. Soofiani holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of British Columbia, where he taught for six years and directed the Mathematics Learning Centre, overseeing academic support for more than ten thousand students. He is a silver medallist of the Iranian Mathematical Society Competition and placed eleventh in Iran's National Mathematical Olympiad.

His coaching record spans Iran and Canada. His students' results include a silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad, a bronze at the Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad, and advancement into national olympiad selection in the United States. He has prepared students for the AMC, AIME, Euclid and the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad.

A doctorate opens many doors. This is the one he chose. Teaching mathematics at its highest level is not a sideline for Dr. Soofiani. It is the aspiration itself. At Dipolio, he leads the room where young mathematicians are made.

How It Works

  • Admission opens by direct application or by nomination from within the Signature Mentorship. Both paths lead to the same examination. The application itself is brief. It tells us where the student stands and where they intend to go.

  • The examination is the gate. It measures readiness rather than memory, and asks a student to reason beyond the syllabus. The examination fee is waived in full for admitted students.

  • Before any offer is made, we meet with each family. The conversation covers the examination, the student, and the commitment the Programme asks. Admission is decided with families, not announced to them.

  • Successful candidates are offered a place in the next cohort. Where readiness is not yet demonstrated, we set out the path towards it, most often through the Signature Mentorship.

  • Cohorts are capped at ten and led by doctoral-level instructors. Six hours each week, across three sessions, alongside peers who take the work seriously. The environment does the rest.
