Selective programmes

Every route runs backwards from a date.

Give a child’s age and a destination. The map shows the rungs between the two — what is still ahead, what has already gone, and where the preparation exists.

This map is a suggestion, not a schedule. It shows one sensible way to build practice and proficiency toward a destination — every child prepares differently, and reaching a rung is never a guarantee of a place.

International Linguistics Olympiad

The whole route is ahead. International Linguistics Olympiad asks for 10 rungs between Year 5 and Year 13, and none has passed.

Troupe teaches 7 of them today; the rest are still in build.

What it asks forReads an unfamiliar writing system as data rather than as noise. Will test a hypothesis against a second example before committing to it.
