The Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) is located at 200 Wells Ave. in Newton, Massachusetts, in the United States. It is designed as an after school program that provides mathematical education for children attending K–12 of public and private schools. The school is meant as a place where children can both improve on their studies of mathematics and advance in their learning beyond remedial school curriculum. The founder of RSM is Inessa Rifkin and co-founder is Irene Khavinson. The focus of RSM is primarily mathematics. The high-school level classes offer preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT, SAT II and AP exams. Each class usually involves intensive reinforcement of the topic using many examples and problems. Accompanied by classwork, all students are given homework to reinforce what they have learned.
The school also runs two separate summer math camp programs: an overnight camp in Sunapee, New Hampshire, and a day camp in Newton. RSM branches have recently been opened in Santa Clara, California, Acton, Massachusetts, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and Louisville, Kentucky. An RSM affiliate has also recently been opened in Framingham, Massachusetts under the name of MetroWest School of Mathematics.
