Abacus Centre For Excellence
About ACFE
Abacus centre for excellence (ACFE) is a well-established centre for Abacus learning since 2003. The Academy currently includes 1000 students, 17 centres and working in collaboration with educational institutions in Bangalore.
We had a humble beginning in 2003 with 4 students, initiated by Mrs. Dhakshayani and jointly administered by Mr. Vishwanathan. The Academy has grown with the combined efforts of every person associated with us in different capacities. With the dedication and passion towards the methodology, from our staff and parent community, our horizons grew wider. We soon expanded our centres to other parts of Bangalore to spread the benefits to Abacus to as many students as possible.
We began initially with 2nd generation Abacus and had been functioning so until 2011. From 2011 onwards we shifted to 3rd generation Abacus with base 10 system. Today we say with pride that we are the pioneers of 3rd generation Abacus in India.
3rd Generation Abacus for (ACFE) Abacus Centre For Excellence
3rd generation Abacus which comes with complete compatibility with school thought calculations, it is faster and easier.
Through these many years of Practice in Abacus, numerous children have passed through the portals of this institution, are well established in their professions today. The numbers of students who have learned with us over these years are more than 5000+
At the Abacus Centre For Excellence, the 3rd generation Abacus method was uniquely developed by. Dhakshani to address the limitations of the traditional 5 bead abacus. This innovative approach utilizes a 9 bead abacus system based on the base 10 numeral system, aligning seamlessly with the school curriculum. Students at the Abacus Centre For Excellence benefit from this advanced methodology, enabling them to enhance their mathematical skills more effectively and efficiently.
