Improve your child's concentration.

Help them be successful!

Without the right training to develop important skills like concentration, listening, memory, and Mental Math, it's going to cost your child...

• They won't be confident in their abilities.
• They may not be able to pass difficult subjects in school.
• They may not get accepted into the top universities.
• And ultimately, they'll be disadvantaged when it comes to their future careers.
  

As a parent, it shouldn't be difficult to get your child the right kind of training to ensure they reach their full potential. The SIP Abacus program can provide your child with strong foundational skills necessary for them to thrive.

Don’t rely on the school system to Improve Learning Ability

According to the latest Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) held in 2019, the Philippines ranked last among 58 countries. Sadly, our Grade 4 students performed the worst when it came to Math and Science. Our country’s students are falling significantly behind their counterparts in all the different countries across the globe.

When you can’t depend on traditional schooling to supply your child with the necessary skills they need to excel and succeed in life, you have to invest in other programs.

At SIP Abacus, we believe that children can do much better if they are given the right kind of training. SIP Abacus is a systematic skills training program your child participates in outside of school hours. Our program helps nurture your child’s learning ability, developing important skills like concentration, listening, visual memory, retention and recall, and mental Math. Children who develop these skills gain an advantage over their peers and are more equipped to achieve academic and non-academic success.

1. How does my child benefit from the SIP Abacus Program?

The SIP Abacus program is a skills development program that uses the abacus as a primary tool to impact children's mental development and attitude towards challenges. SIP Abacus helps children to enjoy numbers, acquire fast mental calculation skills, and develop their learning skills of concentration, visual memory, and listening. SIP Abacus training also instills discipline, perseverance, self-confidence, and a growth mindset. The improvement in all these areas of development will not only help your child excel in academics, but it will also have a positive impact in their day-to-day life and future career.

2. Will this be in conflict with my child’s Math in school?

In the SIP Abacus program, children learn to use the abacus as a tool to perform the four basic arithmetic operations, namely addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, which are the necessary foundation in all school Mathematics. We focus on arithmetic, not word problem-solving, so it does not conflict with, but rather supplements any school Math method taught in school.

Our methodology is time-tested and has been used in many countries with outstanding proven results.

Our SIP Abacus curriculum is of international standards and is constantly refined in cooperation with international education experts. The syllabus, teaching materials, strategies and techniques have been designed to be child-friendly and fun.

In 2006, SIP Academy was brought to the Philippines after a group of Filipino-Chinese guests attended the international SIP Abacus & Mental Arithmetic Competition held in Bali that year. Witnessing young SIP Abacus students from different countries exhibit amazing concentration and rapid mental math skills impressed them so much that they decided right then and there that SIP Abacus is definitely a unique program that can benefit a lot of Filipino children. It was a training program that none of them who had years of educating children had seen the likes of before.

Today, SIP Academy Philippines is led by Ms. Carol Yu-Villacruz, who serves as Managing Director, and Ms. Kyra Yap, who serves as Managing Partner.

Ms. Villacruz obtained a degree in Industrial Engineering from De La Salle University. After managing a manufacturing export business, she decided to go into the field of education after becoming a mother to two children and realizing the fundamental importance of quality education. She then completed a Teacher Certificate Program, passed the National Licensure Examination for Teachers, and took up a Masters in Educational Leadership from De La Salle University. Ms. Villacruz also serves as a school board member of a top private school in NCR, Philippines.

Ms. Yap holds a degree in Management Engineering from Ateneo de Manila University. She served as the training director of a Japanese-Singaporean Math program for three years and trained students who have competed and won awards from various Math competitions here and abroad. With an interest in psychology and cognitive development, she completed a Masters degree in Developmental Psychology with a track in Early Childhood Education from the Ateneo de Manila University. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and teaching Math to kids.
