The Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) is a post-school program that provides math education for children attending K-12 public and private schools. Schools give children the opportunity to advance in math beyond the traditional school curriculum. The founder of RSM is Inessa Rifkin and the co-founder is Irene Khavinson.
The focus of RSM is on elementary school mathematics. High school level classes offer preparation for standardized tests such as SAT, SAT II and AP exams. Each class usually involves intensifying the topic intensively using many examples and exercises. Accompanied by classroom work, all students are given homework to reinforce what they have learned.
