RSM's unique curriculum, perfected over 25 years, is inspired by elite mathematical schools of the former Soviet Union and adapted for the U.S. educational environment, focusing on developing abstract thinking and problem-solving skills.
The Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) Summer Programs offer K-12 students an opportunity to reinforce math knowledge, prepare for the upcoming school year, and engage in challenging math competition courses. The curriculum, inspired by elite mathematical schools in the former Soviet Union and adapted for the U.S. educational environment, aims to develop a deep math foundation and strong problem-solving skills. Students participate in an interactive classroom environment with up to 12 students per class, led by expert teachers. Beyond core math, select locations also offer STEAM programs that include science, engineering, coding, chess, and art, as well as full and half-day options with activities like music and sports. The program focuses on developing abstract thinking, mental flexibility, and the ability to solve complex problems, preparing students for rigorous high school courses, standardized tests, and math competitions.
A typical day involves interactive lessons led by an expert teacher in a classroom setting, with activities and work with manipulatives for younger grades, and opportunities for students to verbalize and debate their ideas.
This program is best for students in grades K-12 looking to strengthen foundational math skills, prepare for the next academic year, or seek additional challenges in mathematics and problem-solving.
