What is Kid Genius?
Kid Genius is an international educational system designed for children ages 3 to 14. Their mission is to foster healthy brain development, encourage intellectual growth, and prepare children to thrive in a rapidly changing world. By blending the best educational practices from East and West, Kid Genius helps children become organized, disciplined, resilient, and confident—qualities every parent wants for their child.
Unique Programs for Every Age
Kid Genius isn’t just about math—it’s about whole-brain development. Their programs include:
Numicon: Developed at Oxford, this playful, visual math program introduces children ages 4–6 to numbers and patterns, helping them build a strong mathematical foundation.
Mental Arithmetic (HIKARI Program): Based on the Japanese abacus (soroban), this program for ages 4–14 develops both hemispheres of the brain, boosting memory, focus, and rapid calculation skills.
Marvel Kids: A general education club for ages 4–6 (sometimes as young as 3), Marvel Kids prepares little learners for school with games, experiments, and early math and literacy skills—all in a fun, supportive environment.

Why Choose Kid Genius?
Expert Team: All instructors are experienced educators, psychologists, or specialists, certified through international training.
Small Groups: Classes are kept small (6–12 children) to ensure personal attention and an individualized approach.
Holistic Methods: Programs use the VAK method (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) so kids learn through seeing, hearing, and doing.
Supportive Community: The school values strong parent-teacher communication and a positive, creative atmosphere.
