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.

Test of Mathematics for University Admission

The next thing is the Proof Year. It runs for one academic year from August and prepares the transition the route ahead assumes — six of the destinations on this map begin with it.

The whole route is ahead. Test of Mathematics for University Admission asks for 21 rungs between Year 7 and Year 13, and none has passed.

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