SIP Abacus is a transformative educational program designed to enhance children's cognitive development and academic performance. Originating in Malaysia in 1999, SIP Abacus has expanded globally, with over 700,000 students trained across 14 countries, including New Zealand. In New Zealand, SIP Abacus operates multiple centres in Auckland, Hamilton, and plans to expand to Wellington and Christchurch, offering both in-person and online classes.
The program focuses on developing essential skills such as concentration, confidence, observation, listening, visual memory, retention recall, speed writing, and numerical ability. Through a unique 3-pronged approach—Speed Writing, Brain Gym exercises, and Abacus Training—SIP Abacus aims to improve learning abilities in children aged 5 to 12 years. This approach not only enhances mathematical skills but also fosters overall cognitive growth.
Parents have reported significant improvements in their children's academic performance, with many students advancing 3.5 years ahead of their peers in math and English reading after two years in the program. SIP Abacus also hosts events like the National Finals of the Mental Math Prodigy Competition, celebrating students' achievements and fostering a love for learning.
