What is your role at the school?

Takes under a minute

Many students struggle with focus, memory and basic calculation — falling behind before they even reach algebra.

This is exactly what Abakus was built to solve — an international program trusted by schools since 2015.

The Abakus methodology

At This Conference, We Present the Abakus Methodology — Built on a Centuries-Old Technique, Adapted for Modern Schools

Mental arithmetic traces back to ancient China, where court scholars and mathematicians used the abacus to perform complex calculations entirely in the mind — a skill once reserved for the educated elite. Today, this same technique — based on the Japanese soroban (abacus) — helps children visualize numbers and calculate intuitively, without calculators, paper or other tools.

Abakus School has developed a unique method that develops critical thinking, logics and math skills and consists of:

  • Mental Arithmetic
  • Logical tasks
  • Unusual math
  • Brain fitness exercises
  • Educational games

What Is Mental Arithmetic?

Mental arithmetic is a method of rapid calculation performed entirely in the mind, without calculators, paper or other tools. It's based on the Japanese soroban (abacus) technique, helping children visualize numbers and manipulate them intuitively.

  • Turns complex calculations into an engaging game
  • Develops concentration
  • Accelerates mental processes
  • Builds brain flexibility

What Is Neurofitness?

Neurofitness uses asymmetric two-hand motor exercises to engage both hemispheres of the brain — a scientifically grounded approach to developing cognitive abilities in children.

  • Activates brain centers for motor skills and speech
  • Improves attention and self-control
  • Prepares the brain for reading, writing and counting
  • Boosts cognitive activity and spatial thinking
Registration is open until October 16, 2026
