Many know Pi Day as an annual salute to the mathematical sign pi—the irrational, transcendental, infinite number whose first three digits are 3.14. Celebrated around the world every March 14, Pi Day has special significance here at CTY, as it represents the curiosity and love of learning that our staff, students, families, and alumni all share.

Once again this year, we’re celebrating Pi Day during the whole month of March, and you can participate by making a gift to CTY.
