About Binjai Academy
Binjai Academy is Singapore's bilingual logic and engineering academy for P1-P3 students (ages 6-9). We combine competition-level mathematics (Beast Academy) with hands-on science and engineering-all taught in Mandarin. Our screen-minimal, 1:8 mentor-ratio model is designed for deep learning, not passive consumption. We're opening our flagship centre in Bukit Timah in Term 3, 2026.
