The Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) is an after school program that provides mathematics education for children attending K–12 of public and private schools. The school provides children with the opportunity to advance in mathematics beyond the traditional school curriculum. The founder of RSM is Inessa Rifkin and co-founder is Irene Khavinson.[1][2][3][4]
The focus of RSM is on primary school 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 topics using many examples and exercises. Accompanied by classwork, all students are given homework to reinforce what they have learned.[5][6]
History[edit]
According to the official website, Inessa Rifkin and Irina Khavinson left the USSR in search of a better life for their children.[7] Together, they created a math education program that was very much like their own.[7] According to the website, they "Sparked a Movement". "20 years ago", the first class was held at Ms. Rifkin's kitchen table, also said to be in her living room,[8] outside of Boston, Massachusetts. In October 1999, their first "dedicated" school building was established in a Boston-area suburb(Probably Newton). They currently have about 40,000 students.
Locations[edit]
The after-school mathematics program was originally established in Boston,[9] inside Inessa Rifkin's living room.[8] Since then, the school has expanded to include more than 50 schools in the US and Canada, as well as online programs.[10][11] RSM also runs an overnight camp in Sunapee, New Hampshire.[citation needed]
