Section Two — The Programme
What your students learn.
Why parents pay for it.
The UCMAS programme is an 8-level structured curriculum for children aged 5–13. Students begin with a physical abacus and graduate to mental arithmetic — computing 6-digit calculations entirely in their head. Each level takes approximately 3–4 months, meaning the average student stays enrolled for 2–3 years.
