How Matrix helps your child stay confident,
challenged,
and ahead in Maths

  • 1. Keep your child challenged and engaged

    Many advanced students feel unchallenged at school. Our acceleration pathway keeps curiosity alive and learning stimulating by helping students move up to 12 months ahead with structured teacher guidance.

  • 2. Build mastery early with structure and support

    Students prepare for HSC Extension 1 a year early and develop deep understanding through guided lessons and expert feedback. This builds confidence without unnecessary pressure.

  • 3. Learn alongside high-achieving peers

    In small, selective classes, your child learns with motivated peers who share the same curiosity and goals. This environment helps students stay confident and accountable.

  • 4. Learn from expert Math teachers

    Matrix teachers are subject specialists who make advanced concepts clear. They guide students through acceleration at a balanced and sustainable pace that promotes long-term learning.

  • 5. Structured progression that builds confidence

    Each term builds on the last to ensure strong foundations and readiness for advanced study. Students progress confidently because their learning is planned and purposeful.

  • 6. A proven pathway trusted by 8000+ students each year

    With over two decades of experience supporting advanced learners, Matrix helps students accelerate safely and approach the HSC with confidence.

Frequently asked questions

Maths Acceleration | NSW

Certain NSW schools offer accelerated Mathematics courses for students. Accelerating in Mathematics means completing HSC Mathematics a year early.

The Matrix Maths Acceleration courses follow a structured, term-by-term program which prepares students to complete HSC Mathematics Advanced and Mathematics Extension 1 in Year 11. Year 7 and 8 students are challenged with advanced concepts, with Year 9 students completing both the Year 9 and Year 10 Maths content in one year.

Students who complete HSC Mathematics Advanced and Mathematics Extension 1 in Year 11 gain more time in Year 12 for other subjects or revision. They gain early experience in HSC-style questions, and build a deep understanding and confidence for Mathematics Extension 2.

Maths Acceleration Program at Matrix | NSW

The Maths Acceleration program is designed for high-achieving students in Years 7 to 10 who are ready to fast-track their learning. If your child is motivated, confident, and has exceptional Maths abilities, this program is for you. Students who aim to complete HSC Mathematics Advanced and Extension 1 in Year 11 are also encouraged to apply.

The Maths Acceleration Program is a rigorous, selective academic program designed for high-performing students who are ready to be challenged beyond their school curriculum. The normal Matrix Maths course teaches students one term ahead, while the Maths Acceleration program fast-tracks students through the Year 7 to 10 content to prepare them to complete the HSC Mathematics Advanced and Mathematics Extension 1 courses in Year 11. Year 9 and 10 Maths Acceleration students are up to a year ahead of their peers.

Students can apply for the Maths Acceleration program at any time. The Maths Acceleration entrance test is held every two weeks at select campuses.

Enrolments for Matrix courses close in Week 3 of the Matrix term. If your child is accepted to the Maths Acceleration course after this date, they will join us the following term.

Maths Acceleration Entrance Test | NSW

Students can prepare for the entrance test by:

  • Revising key topics from their Matrix Maths Course or school curriculum.
  • Practising problem-solving and time management with exam style questions.
  • Enroling in a Matrix holiday course for rigorous revision and further support.

Our Matrix Academic Team will contact you regarding how to support your child to help them qualify in the future. Students are encouraged to join the term, holiday, or online Maths course to build strong problem-solving skills through structured lessons and marked homework. Students can re-apply at a later date.

Maths Acceleration Classes | NSW

The Maths Acceleration program is available at all of our Matrix NSW campuses: Castle Hill, Chatswood, Epping, Hurstville, Parramatta, Strathfield, and Sydney City. It is currently offered as an on-campus class only. Class availability can be found on the Maths Acceleration Course pages.

At the conclusion of the Year 10 Maths Acceleration course, students will be enroled in a Year 11 Maths Acceleration course which covers the Year 12 Mathematics Advanced and Mathematics Extension 1 content. These classes are separate to current Year 12 students.
