School of Mathematics in Foster City

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.

Our location in Foster City is serving communities of San Mateo, Redwood City, South San Francisco and other areas. We provide same quality mathematical education as our other locations across the country.

Our Approach

A quality mathematics education is one of the most powerful tools you can provide a child.  We believe the widespread aversion to the subject that is so prevalent in the culture and schools throughout this country is a major problem.  One of the most important tasks (especially at the elementary level) is creating a counter culture that embraces the subject as both exciting and useful.  RSM is not just designed for students who intend to study math in college.  It is designed to help widen opportunities in all fields by honing logic and critical thinking skills along with the development of math-specific abilities and an appreciation for the subject. Math IS cool. more...

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
