[quote=Anonymous]The office staff is not the reason most people attend these programs. The Herndon/Reston RSM office staff is, to be frank, awful. They are slow to respond to emails. They send incorrect information, this happened regularly. They resist moving kids into higher level classes even when the teacher agrees that the student should be moved. DS individual teachers were great and we had no issues with the math competition program. DS was selected for the national program which is an online class and runs separately from the franchise locations. He very much enjoyed the RSM in person classes, although he found the regular class to be less engaging. He thrived in the local math competition class, loved that one. And he has been very happy with the national math competition classes.

We have experience with both AoPS and RSM. The AoPS class is more similar to RSMs math competition classes then RSM grade level classes. You have to have a student who is ready to learn material not being taught at school and at a fast pace to enjoy AoPS. RSM classes are geared towards kids who need some reinforcement of a bit more of a challenge in grade level work. The math competition program is more challenging and covers topics that your child is not likely to see in school immediately. [/quote]
