ROCKY HILL, Conn., June 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) – an after-school math enrichment program renowned for developing excellence in mathematics and life-long critical thinking skills – is expanding its advanced math program for K-12 children to Rocky Hill, Conn.

The math school will open its first branch in Connecticut at 1880 Silas Deane Highway in Rocky Hill this summer in response to the demand for quality after-school math education from families in the Greater Hartford community. RSM-Rocky Hill is currently enrolling students for its six-week summer math program, which runs July 8th through August 16th. To learn more, visit www.russianschool.com.
RSM-Rocky Hill will be run by Christopher Green, a Harvard graduate and Berlin, Connecticut native who brings to his role his experiences as a teacher of advanced mathematics, a math curriculum consultant, and an SAT tutor to his new role as math school principal.
Inessa Rifkin and Irina Khavinson, the two Russian immigrant women who started the Newton, Mass.-based Russian School of Mathematics in 1997, believe that anyone can do well in math given the right learning environment. For more than a decade, RSM students have consistently posted top scores in national and international math competitions and on standardized tests. But as the founders point out, achieving top test scores is just one of the benefits of RSM's math enrichment program. RSM students also see higher grade point averages in school, more confidence, and a strengthening of problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
The key, they say, is creating an enjoyable learning environment that emphasizes understanding over rote memorization supported by a systematic curriculum and well-trained, enthusiastic teachers who can pass their love of math on to their students.
Once based in the Rifkin family living room, the school's aim has always been to help students get into the best colleges and give them a set of skills they would find valuable in any profession. RSM has seen demand for its math program increase dramatically over the years and the math school today enrolls more than 8,000 students in six states.
