The Russian School of Mathematics’ Mission

RSM is an award winning, after-school math enrichment program trusted by parents for over 25 years across 80+ locations in North America. Our program emerged as a partnership between a passionate parent and gifted teacher and has since launched a movement. They created a math education that mirrored their own, one of quality and depth. Today, RSM serves over 80,000 students.

Our unique approach consists of a continuous K-12 curriculum, taught by expert teachers, in a classroom environment of peers who study together year over year. In addition to our core program, our competition track is designed for students interested in advanced mathematical topics as well as participating in elite math competitions.

RSM’s curriculum was developed by a team of academics specializing in mathematics, education, and child development and has been continually perfected by our curriculum department. RSM offers three levels per grade to ensure that each student is appropriately challenged in an environment of like-minded peers. Multiple levels for each grade enables us to place each child in an environment best suited to them.

Featured in NPR and The Atlantic as one of the key players in the “Math Revolution” and ranked one of the best schools in the world by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, RSM uses the rigorous study of mathematics as a vehicle to develop our students’ math fluency, intellect, and character, empowering them for life.
