Program & Advancement
Every student will learn by own pace. Different level's students are in same class. But do not worry about that, we have enough skills to manage those classes.
The Ikoma Abacus Learning calculation system has levels of grades similar to school. Each level is partitioned to give the student enough concepts to master before moving on to the next level. The nine levels constitute the basic program for mastering fundamental mental calculation techniques. The average student will be able to complete the whole program in three to five years or shorter. Depending on the individual's progress, some students have completed the basic program in a fewmonths.
