What are Holiday Accelerated Courses (HAC)?
Matrix Holiday Accelerated Courses (HAC) are intensive programs that run during the school holidays over either 5 or 9 days. Depending on the subject, the courses are designed to help students either revise the previous term’s content or learn the upcoming term’s material in advance.
Matrix HAC lessons are the exact same content as our term lessons, just condensed into 5 or 9 days instead of weekly lessons throughout the term.
Whether your goal is to consolidate your understanding or get ahead of school, these structured programs allow you to make the most of your holidays and reduce the pressure of term-time study. HAC is ideal for time-poor students who want to walk into the next term feeling confident and in control.
