Careers at RSM

Enrollment

We accept only online applications. Please remember that an application alone does not guarantee you a spot in class. You need to pay the registration fee to complete registration.
Please contact us If you have any problem with your application.

Class Placement

If your child attends a regular math class in public or private school, he/she will be accepted in the beginner level class of the appropriate grade without a  test.

If you believe that your child could be placed at an advanced level, you need to schedule a placement test. Please call our Office for an appointment. We will be happy to discuss with you all appropriate placement options.

 Registration Fee

  • $100 For students who start in the first semester
  • $80 For students who join RSM in the second semester
  • $40 For students who start after April 1

All students, both new and continuing, including those in tutoring, need to register for every academic year.

The registration process is complete only when we receive both your Application and Registration Fee check.

Registration fee is not refundable.

Payments

Payment can be made by check or cash. We do not accept credit cards.

Checks should be made to RSM and sent to our school address.

If more than one child attends RSM, payments can be combined on one check. Each check needs to be clearly marked with your children's names, class name and your phone number.

We do not send monthly bills or statements. It is your responsibility to verify the correct amount of payment and the schedule of payments. If you receive a statement, this means that your account is already past due and $20 Late Fee was applied automatically. Please contact the RSM accountant and discuss the problem as soon as possible.
