Welcome to School of Mathematics in Shrewsbury

Welcome to our new RSM branch in Shrewsbury, MA.  - an after school mathematics enrichment program. Since 1997 we have provided 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".

Our children benefit from rigorous mathematical training, we help to excel at algebra, geometry and gain priceless mathematical skills. Whether your child needs to brush up his/her math or feels not challenged enough in school, we can help. We will provide something that regular mathematics tutor can't - ability to study in naturally challenging and fun class environment. Our children study mathematics, benefit from each other's progress and make friends.

Our Approach

Understanding vs Memorization: we foster active learning and discovery, rather than making students drill and practice material that they don't understand.
Early introduction of Algebra and Geometry is proven to remove anxiety about high school mathematics and becomes one of the natural components of the overall cognition development for young students.
Logic and abstract thinking. Beginning at a very young age children are able to use their common sense to make easy transition from familiar concrete thinking to abstract thinking. The effect is the overall development of better cognition, not just improved mathematics skills.
All topics are logically interconnected. There is no needless repetition of topics. We ask to use previously learned skills in new sets of problems.
Practice makes perfect. We require home work. This is the only reliable way to retain the material learned in class - even if it was well understood at that time.
