S.A.M Thinking Math and S.A.E Phonics & English
(For children aged 4–12 years old)

S.A.M Thinking Math programme helps children develop math mastery, thinking and problem-solving skills through interest and understanding instead of rote memorisation and drilling, with an emphasis on conceptual learning and explicit teaching of problem-solving heuristics and process.
