About Smart Brain America

Mental arithmetic in itself is a powerful educational tool by its own right. Smart Brain America has crafted a proprietary program that is light years beyond this basic concept by creating a children's educational program that is an All-Inclusive Right Brain Enhancement and Abacus Arithmetic course. It is designed to explode the full capabilities and strength of the right side and left side of the brain. It allows the children in such programs to be able to perform large and difficult calculations in the head without any help from the use of a computer or calculator.
For example, a child as young as even 9 years of age, who is in his or her Grand Level would be able to calculate a number as large as 739,241/329 all in the head, without any computers, calculators or even the Abacus! What's more incredible is that Grand Level children can accomplish this within ten seconds with near perfection each and every time at a pace equal to competition level!
Right side brain development will also lead to equally impressive results in: reading comprehension, reading accuracy, reading speed, memory recall and recall speed, and conceptualization.
Children utilize the Abacus, the ancient Chinese calculator, in a highly specialized manner to fire the synaptic pathways in the brain resulting in true, unparalleled brain development in kids.
Smart Brain America is a franchise company looking for new franchisees for prime locations of their choice.
