Abacus Mental Math®
Our mission is to help students build a solid foundation in math, logical reasoning, self-confidence and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are the foundation of math. With that in mind, it should be said: Abacus Mental Math® is a must for every child.
The heart of Soroban abacus training is whole-brain development; the bonus is a strong foundation in math. No other method has produced the results Soroban training has. We take students through 10 Kyu to 1 Kyu in an easy, engaging and rewarding way.
Why we teach it this way
The heart of Soroban abacus training is whole-brain development. The bonus — and it is a big one — is a strong foundation in math.
We take students through 10 Kyu to 1 Kyu in a way that is easy to follow, engaging, and rewarding at every step.
Our Curriculum & Approach
Not all Soroban training is created equal. Our CEO has received the high honor of Certified Japanese Soroban Abacus Teacher. We take pride in being a part of very few select schools that offer the Japanese curriculum to train our students in reading abacus, listening abacus, listening anzan, and flash anzan.
We offer pre-soroban levels, grades 10-1, and Dan levels. We have created a platform for children to take advantage of this incredible training developed by the Japanese to engage their learning while rewarding progress along the way.
