All our teachers have a strong care factor for their student’s engagement and progress.
Our programs are developed by industry professionals to ensure students have questions to suit their ability and encourage them through the appropriate levels of progression. No sudden changes of difficulty!
We keep a close eye on your students progress to ensure they are heading towards their academic goals.
This is achieved through regular discussions with teachers and ongoing work review.

Course Outline

In partnership with Feng Hua Chinese School, the Zenith Education program specialises in preparing Year 5 and 6 students for the NSW Selective High School Entrance Test. This test is highly competitive, requiring students to demonstrate exceptional abilities to be accepted. Our program is designed to give your child the academic edge they need to secure a place in a selective school.

English - we focus on advanced reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and written expression. These skills are critical for excelling in the verbal reasoning and written components of the test.

Mathematics - we emphasise problem-solving techniques, logical reasoning, and mastery of challenging concepts, ensuring students can confidently approach complex math questions.

Thinking skills - we teach students abstract and logical reasoning. Through targeted practice and expert guidance, we equip students with the critical and creative thinking skills needed to perform under exam conditions.

With our experienced tutors, customised lesson plans, and supportive learning environment, we provide a comprehensive approach to selective school test preparation. Classes are taught in stages and individual student progress is closely monitored to identify student strengths and areas of improvement, allowing the most suitable level of content to be provided for maximum engagement and progress.
