Hey everyone!
The Competitive Programming Initiative (the organization that made https://usaco.guide/ and this USACO forum) has opened registration for a new semester of classes for USACO Bronze and Silver classes!
- Spots are limited. Register early to guarantee your spot!
- The nine-week classes both cost $100 each (to help the Competitive Programming Initiative keep running our initiatives), but financial aid is available for those who need it.

Here are some info about the classes.

Class structure and curriculum
Each week, there will be a two-hour meeting held on Zoom. There will (usually) be a new topic introduced near the start of the class. In-class questions related to the topic will also be presented. There are several instructors for each lesson: each one will explain one topic/problem.
The curriculum is designed and developed by past USACO finalists modelled off of https://usaco.guide/, so rest assured that the content is high-quality. To see the curriculum in more detail, go to Online USACO Classes | Competitive Programming Initiative.
Hope to see you in class!
