About SEAMO

The Southeast Asian Mathematical Olympiad (SEAMO) is a unique assessment platform that has helped more than 150,000 students across 23 countries achieve Global Recognition in the field of mathematics since 2016.

Originating in Singapore, SEAMO is based on the 21^st Century Core Competencies set out by Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE). SEAMO emphasises critical thinking skills, encouraging students to make connections between different concepts and think outside the box for success in school and the workplace. With this vision in mind, SEAMO has grown in popularity among schools and parents to become the most highly acclaimed Maths Olympiad competition in the region. 

What makes SEAMO different?

• Based on Singapore Mathematical Olympiad curriculum with modifications to meet international standards.
• Emphasises creative and inventive thinking as opposed to technical maths skills.
• Compete against the brightest minds from 20+ countries.
• Gain a global perspective by interacting with top mathematicians from other countries.
• As a globally recognised competition, accredited winners have used their results to enter top international schools.
• Winners will qualify for a chance to represent their country in the Global Round of the competition (SEAMO X).
