In 2013, Zeitz began planning Proof School in San Francisco, a school for children in grades 6-12 who have a passion for math. The school opened in San Francisco in 2015.
Zeitz and Andrew Chung are also the cofounders of Math in the Mountains (MiTM), a program that is designed for teachers, kids, and parents with a deep passion for mathematics. Based at the Teton Science Schools in scenic Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the goal of MitM is to mix mathematical exploration with outdoor adventures in a way that fosters creativity, imaginative thinking, grit, resilience, and intellectual risk-taking.
