Welcome

Welcome to RSM - an after school mathematics enrichment program. Since 1997 we have provided a world-class math education with an emphasis on problem solving skills and critical thinking. The best description of our program's success comes from an RSM parent: "...RSM teaches kids to think, to make connections between mathematical concepts, to utilize critical thinking and build upon previous concepts to solve new problems".

About School of Mathematics

The RSM program was developed based on classical traditions of systematic math education. Our goal is to help children build a solid foundation for future success in taking the SAT and college mathematics. We provide our students with a thorough understanding of every mathematical concept and help them develop excellent problem solving skills.

Every year RSM students are recognized for their acheivement by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth and receive awards for their high scores in American Math Competitions (AMC-8, 10, 12). RSM students'SAT average is 774 / 800.

Classes and Workshops

With over 200 classes, our mathematics curriculum for grades K-12 provides a three level structure ranging from beginner to advanced for each grade with courses including Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Test Preparation for the ISEE, SAT-I, SAT-II, ACT and AP.

RSM combines experience and flexibility to meet any child's needs. In addition to classes, RSM students can participate in Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS) preparation teams, and several SAT preparation workshops.

Classes Description

Mathematics Tutoring

A great tutor can prepare a child for a test or help with a specific algebra or geometry class, but they cannot build a solid mathematical foundation. Instead, we focus on learning in a classroom environment providing tutoring as a helpful but not the primary serivce.  more on tutoring...

Letters from Students and Parents

... I am writing to thank you for everything you have done for me in the ten years ... Though these years, I have grown in tremendous ways. One way I have grown is in my mathematical ability. Not only am I able to solve very complex problems, but I have also have developed the skills to understand the material and not only memorize it.
- Daniel Lander, RSM Graduate (1998-2008).

My son Drew Bassilakis goes to a private school in Andover, MA and has been at RSM since 3rd grade. [This year] he took part in New England Math League contest and received a very good result - 37, top in Essex County and 1st Place in 6th grade (out of 139 schools)...

SAT Scores and IQ

Do you know that in 2003 Frey and Detterman analyzed the correlation of SAT scores with intelligence test scores (IQ)? They found that SAT scores highly correlate with general mental ability. This theory has been confirmed by a similar research in 2006.

Now consider that the nation's Average Mathematics SAT Score is 518
Our Student's Average Score is 774
