Russian School of Mathamatics – Wellesley
About
The Wellesley campus of the Russian School of Mathematics offers after-school math classes for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. RSM’s method is modeled on the elite math schools of the former Soviet Union and adapted for American students, and it treats mathematics as a way to develop intellect and character as well as skill. Classes follow a single continuous curriculum that students move through year by year.
Weekly class time depends on age, from about 1.5 hours for kindergartners up to 2 to 4 hours for high school students. Younger children work with hands-on manipulatives and varied activities to stay engaged. Classes average about 12 students, and each grade is split into three levels so children land in an appropriately challenging group. Homework is designed to reinforce the lesson and generally takes about half as long as class.
