Welcome to Seattle Abacus School
Empowering Young Minds with the Magic of Abacus learning
Welcome to Seattle Abacus School
At Seattle Abacus School, we provide high-quality abacus education for children of all ages and levels. Through hands-on practice and individualized guidance, students develop mental agility, concentration, and confidence—skills that last a lifetime.
We believe abacus education is more than learning numbers; it’s about unlocking every child’s potential.
With small classes, attentive instruction, and joyful learning, we help students build strong foundations in mathematics and self-confidence.
Discover how the power of abacus can transform the way your child learns.
What is an Abacus
The abacus is one of the oldest calculating tools in the world — yet it remains highly relevant today. At Seattle Abacus School, we use the traditional Japanese “soroban” to help children strengthen focus, build confidence, and develop lifelong mental agility.
Mental math skills
Improved memory and focus
Faster and more accurate calculation
Visualization and problem-solving abilities
Patience, discipline, and confidence
More than Just Math
Learning the abacus is not just about doing calculation faster.
It’s about training the mind to visualize, process information efficiently, and solve problems logically.
Children who practice abacus develop:
Strong mental calculation skills
Sharp concentration and focus
Enhanced memory and imagination
Confidence in math and beyond
With time, many students can perform complex calculations mentally, visualizing the abacus in their mind - a powerful brain-training effect known as “Anzan”(mental abacus).
Why Abacus Matters in the Digital Age
In today’s screen-driven world, children often miss the chance to strengthen important skills such as deep thinking, persistence, and memory. While technology provides instant answers, it can sometimes make it harder for children to build the lasting habits that true learning requires.
That is why abacus education offers such timeless value—helping children grow in focus, confidence, and resilience.
