Finding the Right Level
From beginner to competition, multiple levels in each grade enable us to place each child in an environment best suited to them.
I - Accelerated Level
Often the best fit for new students, this curriculum is designed to meet students where they are and build a strong foundation for the advanced curriculum.
II - Advanced Level
Most students continue to this level, where we offer a challenging mathematics curriculum that provides the deep understanding, reasoning skills, and confidence needed for success from elementary through honors high school and beyond.
III - Honors Level
This rigorous curriculum goes into great depth on the topics covered in the advanced level, and regularly employs competition-level problems that encourage students to push the boundaries of their abilities. Many students in Honors also choose to participate in math competitions.
Frequently asked questions
What do RSM student evaluations consist of?
Student evaluations are 30-minute introductory sessions where parents and their children have the opportunity to learn about the RSM program and get to know the team. During the evaluation, parents can discuss their goals for their child’s education; get to know the RSM methodology firsthand as an RSM evaluator guides your child through a series of math problems; receive information about RSM’s curriculum, the program structure, and the three levels of classes that RSM offers; get tuition details, understand the next steps for enrolling your child, and ask any questions.
Can my child start at RSM mid-year?
RSM operates with an open enrollment structure during the school year, meaning students can join our program at any time throughout the year. To help new students get up to speed, we invite all mid-year enrolled students to participate in sessions to catch up on material that they have missed. During these sessions, a dedicated RSM staff member will guide new students through key concepts and lessons their class learned earlier that year. These sessions are held either once or twice a week until the student is caught up enough to join their class. Once the student has mastered the essential topics, they’ll seamlessly transition into their regular class, fully prepared to join their peers.
How many classes will my child be attending per week? How long are your classes?
RSM classes meet once per week. Our class times vary depending on a child’s age, starting anywhere from 1.5 hours for Kindergarteners to 2-4 hours in high school. For younger grades, we regularly mix activities and work with manipulatives to keep students engaged.

How does your online classroom work?
Our online classes are exactly like our physical classes. A teacher conducts a live and interactive lesson in a classroom of students according to our unique curriculum and methodology. The one difference is that instead of sitting at their desk, the student is sitting at home. But just like a physical classroom, students can hear and see one another as well as their teacher.
