What our students' parents are saying
about the Unique ABS program
"My children have been going to Abacus
for almost a year. We’ve found my 7 year old daughter is now
very comfortable with arithmetic problem-solving. Techniques
learned at ABS program
help her do very well at her school. My 4 year old son
now has a passion for numbers. His teacher noted in his
last report card he had a strong
foundation in numbers, we attribute it to his preschool
Abacus lessons! I highly recommend ABS program."
Aisha, February 2013
“My son (age
7) has been taking abacus for just over a year. In that time, I
have seen great improvement in his computation abilities. We enrolled
him because he was having difficulty in math and have found his
math mark has improved a letter grade. The abacus method gives
him the tools and strategies needed to complete his school work
and to use in everyday life.” Kim, August 2012
“We
enrolled Lily in ABS due to the many difficulties she was having
with basic calculations and the effect this was having on her achievement
in Grade 2. After only 9 months in this program she can quickly & accurately
do mental calculations with a series of numbers utilizing both
addition and subtraction. In fact, to my delight, she stated that
now she has an abacus in her brain. I really appreciate how this
program provides solid strategies for calculations and gradually,
transfers the work from the concrete tool of the abacus to mental
imaging. This is ideal as it provides the students with a tool
they can always carry with them. As an added bonus, since entering
the program Lily’s reading has also improved. After 6 months
in the program she jumped three reading levels at once. This was
a first for us. I highly recommend this program and am grateful
it is available in Uxbridge.” Stefanie Cole, February 2012
“I
am amazed with how much my daughter (age 6) is learning. It has
only been one year and she is learning three digit multiplication!
I am grateful to have the ABS program in our town.” Ellen, August 2011
“My daughter has been taking the ABS program
for a year. Now at age 6, she can add, subtract, and multiply
much faster than a 3rd grader. The ABS program has also disciplined
her
and prepared her for the challenges of school. I think the
ABS program should be introduced in every school curriculum.” Kay
Motiwalla, August 2011
“Sydney (grade 2) and Ella (grade 3) go to Goodwood PS. We started them
in the ABS program last summer to give them a better understanding
of math and with the hopes it would improve their focus. After
finishing up their 1st level,
we are very excited to report how much faster they are able
to complete their homework most days and how their grades have
improved. Especially
Sydney, she went from C average to B and A’s. We highly recommend the ABS
program for all students.” Nicole Scott B.A., RHN, February 2011
