About

Russian School of Mathematics – Naperville offers an award-winning K–12 after-school math program that includes an after-school math program, a Summer Program to reinforce math knowledge and prepare for the upcoming school year, and a Competition program. The program also offers a Math Competition Preparation Program with multiple levels for every grade and three levels per grade to ensure appropriate challenge. Classes follow one continuous curriculum from K–12, with an average class size of 12.

• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Summer Program is held over a 6 week period with 2 classes per week; class times range from 1.5 hours for kindergarteners to 2–4 hours in high school

For over twenty-five years, this K–12 after-school math program has operated using a curriculum and methodology inspired by elite mathematical schools in the former Soviet Union and adapted for the American educational environment. Class times vary from 1.5 hours for kindergarteners to 2–4 hours in high school, and homework is designed to take approximately half the length of the lesson. A free evaluation is offered to recommend appropriate class placement.

The principal, Liubou Traskevich, holds an M.A. in Mathematics Education, and all teachers have a background in mathematics or a related field and go through extensive training to teach according to the specific methodology and curriculum. The program’s mission is to use the rigorous study of mathematics as a vehicle to develop students’ math fluency, intellect, and character, empowering them for life. RSM does not franchise and only opens a new location once a gifted and experienced teacher becomes available to lead it.

Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth names Russian School of Mathematics “one of the top 10 schools” in the world, and a majority of RSM branches are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. RSM students have achieved notable results in math competitions, including Team RSM placing 6th out of 150 on the Harvard-MIT Math Tournament, and every 4th RSM student who participated scoring in the top 5% on the AMC8.

Parent and alumni feedback includes comments that RSM regrouped immediately and provided a seamless transition to a virtual classroom with real-time interaction, that teachers are experienced, patient, and knowledgeable, and that the school promotes critical and analytical thinking through a thoroughly designed curriculum while instilling habits of persistence, commitment, and grit.
