Russian School of Mathematics - San Fernando Valley
Math Enrichment That Builds Confidence, K-12
Families at RSM San Fernando Valley consistently describe the same shift: children who used to dread math start looking forward to it. The Encino branch of the Russian School of Mathematics runs a full K-12 after-school program built on rigorous, conceptual problem-solving rather than rote memorization, led by a principal with a background in neuropsychology who understands how kids actually learn.
RSM San Fernando Valley runs the full range of RSM's K-12 tracks - Elementary (K-2 and 3-5), Middle School, High School, and a Competition program for students ready to test themselves against the best young mathematicians in the region. Classes run 1.5 to 4 hours a week depending on grade, and the branch is backed by a regional leadership team, not just a single instructor, so the program stays consistent as a child moves up through the grades.
Students who need extra flexibility can join RSM Online or Summer School, and the branch's WASC-accredited curriculum means the credits and rigor carry real academic weight. What families notice most, though, is the shift in attitude - kids who once saw math as a chore start choosing to go further with it, whether that means an accelerated track at school or competing on RSM's own math teams.
Programs include:
- Elementary math (K-2 and 3-5)
- Middle school and high school math
- A selective competition track
- Summer school
- RSM Online classes
