The Gifted and Talented programme is run by CBA's mathematics faculty and challenges students to develop their critical thinking by taking on complex problems.
CBA assistant director of mathematics, Maxwell Sam, helps run the programme.
He said: "We would love more students to come along.
"I want students to take up this opportunity because we live in a world that's faced with problems that need to be handled tactfully and sensitively in order for people to agree on solutions.
"School is the first place you can start developing critical thinking which is needed to tackle problems.
"Our teachers benefit from these sessions too because teachers and students are in it together - everyone is learning."
The Gifted and Talented programme is open to all students in Years 7 to 12 but is particularly aimed at students in the top sets for mathematics.
It runs from 3.45pm to 5pm on Tuesdays in MAIT.
