What is the trial?
Spark Logic Academy offers a trial for each program. Depending on the program, it may be a 30-minute, one-on-one assessment with a teacher, or a one-class trial at your child's age or school level.
For Spark Logic, Spark Math and the Pre-Prep Bridging Course, the trial is usually a private 30-minute session between the teacher and your child. The teacher evaluates your child's level and recommends the most suitable class.
For Phonics, English Writing and Reading Strategy, STEM and Coding and Technology, your child usually joins a trial class based on their current age or school year level. After the class, the teacher will confirm whether the level is suitable.
-
Is the trial the same for every program?
No. The trial format depends on the program your child is joining.
Spark Logic, Spark Math and the Pre-Prep Bridging Course begin with a 30-minute one-on-one assessment. This helps us place your child into the right level before they join a class.
Phonics, English Writing and Reading Strategy, STEM and Coding and Technology begin with a one-class trial. Your child joins a class that matches their age or school level. If the level is not the right fit, we will recommend a more suitable option.
-

What happens after the trial?
After the trial, our teacher will share their observations and recommend the most suitable program, level and class time for your child.
For one-on-one assessment programs, the recommendation is based on how your child performed during the session. For trial class programs, the teacher will confirm whether the class level is the right fit after your child attends.
There is no pressure to enrol. Our team is happy to answer any questions before you decide.
-
What should I bring to the trial?
Nothing special is needed. It helps to know your child's current age, school year level and any areas where they would like more support.
If your child has any allergies, medical needs, learning concerns or information our team should be aware of, please mention it when booking so we can prepare appropriately.
-

-
What is Spark Logic?
Spark Logic is an early thinking and problem-solving program for children aged 3 to 5. It focuses on building foundational cognitive skills through patterns, shapes, classification, mazes, spatial thinking, observation and logical reasoning.
Rather than focusing on numbers and letters, Spark Logic helps young children develop the thinking skills that make all future learning easier and more natural.
-
What is Spark Math?
Spark Math is our maths program for children from Prep to Year 6, aged approximately 5 to 12. It is based on the Singapore Math approach, which focuses on genuine understanding rather than memorising formulas.
Classes use the CPA method: Concrete (hands-on materials), Pictorial (visual models) and Abstract (numbers and symbols). Children move through these stages in order so they understand what the maths actually means before working with numbers.
Spark Math covers number sense, fractions, decimals, multiplication, word problems, bar modelling and problem-solving. It is designed to build long-term maths confidence, not just short-term test scores.
-
What is the Singapore Math method?
Singapore Math is a teaching method developed in Singapore that consistently produces strong maths results worldwide. It focuses on helping children understand mathematical concepts deeply rather than memorising steps.
The core approach is called CPA: Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract. Children first work with physical objects to understand a concept, then move to visual diagrams and models, and finally work with numbers and symbols. This order ensures children understand the "why" behind every answer, not just the method.
At Spark Logic Academy, we use this approach in our Spark Math program for all maths levels.
-
What is the Phonics program?
Our Phonics program is designed for children aged 3 to 5 who are building their early reading foundations. It focuses on letter sounds, sound recognition, pronunciation and early literacy skills.
Phonics is taught in a structured, step-by-step way to help children connect letters to sounds and begin reading with confidence. It is ideal for children who are preparing for Prep or who are in the early stages of learning to read.
-
What is English Writing and Reading Strategy?
This program supports children in Year 1 to Year 3 (ages 6 to 8) with written English and reading comprehension. It focuses on sentence structure, reading strategies, writing planning, narrative and persuasive writing, vocabulary, editing and overall writing confidence.
Children learn how to organise their ideas, express themselves clearly in writing and develop the skills needed for school assessments and everyday communication.
-
What is the Pre-Prep Bridging Course?
The Pre-Prep Bridging Course is designed for children aged 3 to 5 who are preparing to start Prep. It covers the key skills and routines children need before their first day of school.
The program includes early maths, phonics, listening skills, communication, classroom routines, focus and learning confidence. It helps children feel settled, prepared and ready to learn when they begin school.
Classes run from 9am to 3:30pm, following a typical school day format to help children get used to a full school schedule before Prep begins.
-
What is STEM: Science and Technology?
Our STEM program is designed for children in Prep to Year 1 (ages 6 to 7). It introduces science and technology through hands-on discovery, creative problem-solving and guided exploration.
Children participate in simple experiments, build projects, explore how things work and develop early scientific curiosity. The program is designed to be engaging and fun while building foundational STEM thinking skills.
Contact us to ask about current STEM class availability.
-
What is Coding and Technology?
Our Coding and Technology program is for children aged 8 to 10. It introduces coding fundamentals, digital problem-solving, logical thinking and creative technology projects in a structured and age-appropriate environment.
Children learn how to think like a programmer, break problems into steps, build simple projects and develop confidence working with technology. No prior experience is needed.
-
What is the Spark Passport rewards system?
The Spark Passport is our student rewards system. Children can earn points during class through effort, participation, completing homework, practising and building positive learning habits.
Points can later be exchanged for small rewards and prizes from our rewards shelf. The Spark Passport is designed to help children feel recognised, motivated and excited about coming to class each week.
-
Can my child join more than one program?
Yes. Many of our students attend more than one program. For example, a child may attend Spark Math and English Writing and Reading Strategy, or Spark Logic and Phonics.
We recommend starting with a trial for each program your child is interested in so we can confirm the right level for each subject. Contact us to discuss the best combination for your child.
-
What age can my child start at Spark Logic Academy?
Spark Logic Academy accepts children from age 3 through to Year 7 (approximately age 12 to 13). We have programs designed specifically for each age group and stage of learning.
Children as young as 3 can join our Spark Logic, Phonics or Pre-Prep Bridging programs. Older primary school children can join Spark Math, English Writing and Reading Strategy, STEM or Coding and Technology depending on their year level.
-
What programs are available for children aged 3 to 5?
For children aged 3 to 5, we offer three programs:
- Spark Logic — patterns, shapes, mazes, reasoning and early thinking skills
- Phonics — letter sounds, early reading and literacy foundations
- Pre-Prep Bridging Course — school readiness, combining early maths, phonics, communication and classroom routines
Many families start with the Pre-Prep Bridging Course to cover multiple foundation areas in one program. Book a trial to find out which option is the best fit for your child.
-
What programs are available for primary school children?
Primary school children (Prep to Year 6) have access to several programs depending on their year level and learning needs:
- Spark Math — for Prep to Year 6, maths using the Singapore Math method
- English Writing and Reading Strategy — for Year 1 to Year 3
- STEM: Science and Technology — for Prep to Year 1
- Coding and Technology — for ages 8 to 10 (approximately Year 3 to Year 5)
Contact us if you are unsure which program or level suits your child. A trial assessment will help us confirm the right starting point.
-
How do you decide which level is right for my child?
For Spark Logic, Spark Math and the Pre-Prep Bridging Course, we use a 30-minute one-on-one trial assessment to evaluate your child's current level. The teacher will then recommend the most suitable class level.
For Phonics, English Writing and Reading Strategy, STEM and Coding and Technology, your child joins a trial class that matches their current age or school year. After the class, the teacher confirms whether the level is the right fit.
We never place a child into a class that does not match where they are. If the first class is too easy or too challenging, we will suggest moving to a different level.
-
What if my child is ahead of their year level?
Some children are ready for a level above their school year. During the trial assessment or trial class, our teacher will evaluate your child's actual ability, not just their age or year level.
If your child is working above their year group, we will recommend a class level that matches where they are, so they continue to be challenged and engaged.
-
What if my child is finding school difficult?
That is exactly the situation we are here to help with. Many of our students join Spark Logic Academy because they are struggling with a subject at school and have started to lose confidence.
Our small group classes give teachers the time to identify exactly where a child is finding things difficult, and to work through those gaps at the child's own pace. We focus on building genuine understanding, not just drilling answers.
Book a trial assessment so we can see where your child is and recommend the best way to support them.
-
My child is in Year 6 or Year 7. Is it too late to start?
It is not too late. The Year 6 to Year 7 transition in Queensland is one of the most significant academic shifts in a child's schooling. The jump in content difficulty is real, and many children who were doing well in primary school find Year 7 more challenging than expected.
Starting Spark Math or another program in Year 6 or early Year 7 gives children the time to strengthen their foundations before the content becomes significantly harder. Earlier is better, but it is never too late to close a gap.
Book a trial assessment and our teacher will give you an honest recommendation on how we can best support your child at this stage.
-
Can my child move to a different level if the class is too easy or too hard?
Yes. If after a few classes we or you feel the level is not the right fit, we will recommend moving your child to a more suitable level. Our goal is to make sure every child is in the right class for where they are, not just for their age on paper.

How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our teachers observe each child's progress during every class. Because our classes are small, teachers can track how each student is developing and notice when a child needs extra support or is ready to move ahead.
If you have questions about your child's progress at any point, you are welcome to speak with the teacher directly or contact our team by WhatsApp or phone.
-
Can I stay and watch my child's class?
We ask parents to wait outside the classroom during classes so that children can focus fully on their learning. Many children settle into class much more easily when parents are not in the room.
You are welcome to speak with the teacher before or after class to ask questions or get an update on how your child is going.
