We're pleased to offer our students two options for their Matrix learning!

Matrix+ is our online learning platform, while On-Campus courses are taught at a Matrix campus. Both offer the same high-quality content, but differ in how and where you learn.

Matrix On-Campus

On-Campus courses are delivered in person at one of our Matrix campuses.

  • Taught by experienced teachers in a physical classroom

  • Run both during the Holidays and during the School Term. See here for the difference between Holiday and Term courses.

  • Term courses are taught one term ahead of the Schools. This allows students to be learn and master topics at Matrix before they learn them at school keeping them ahead of their peers.

  • Students can ask questions and get immediate feedback in class.

  • Homework is submitted in class for Maths and Science and then marked returned to students the following week. English students submit their Homework through our online portal where it is marked and returned.

  • Access to additional support through weekly 1-1 Workshops.

  • Students get access to video lessons for the content covered each week that is unlocked after class each week.

  • FAQ can be found here and more information can be found here.

Matrix+ On Demand

Matrix+ is a flexible, online course your child can complete at their own pace.

  • Video lessons taught by the same expert teachers as On-Campus

  • Study anytime, anywhere with self-paced learning

  • Access video lessons, quizzes, and submit homework via MyMatrix

  • Homework is marked and returned with teacher feedback

  • FAQ can be found here and more information can be found here.
