Strange, I know a lot of people whose kids started after 3rd grade.

That makes sense. 4th grade is when math can get difficult. Unless RSM only wants math loving students who they train early to excel at it.

That’s sort of the sense I get. Why wouldn’t they? They want to be able to say their method works to produce x number of competition winners

Most kids at RSM don’t participate in math competitions. The ones that do are most likely in one of the math competition classes, which you have to test into.

We started in third and glad that didn’t start earlier. But they do offer three levels per grade, and give you a placement test before you start, so I don’t think your child would have a negative experience.

The Russian School of Math in my neighborhood has 95% Asian students. We see the students waiting on the sidewalk right after school waiting to get in.

Unless he enjoys math I would skip it and accept that he is a typical math student.

A negative experience for him

I am not really sure what you are asking here but my kid has been doing RSM since 4th grade, he is in 7th now, and enjoys the class. He stopped doing the grade level material and is focused on the math competition class. RSM will reinforce what he is learning in school and probably push into more depth with what they are learning. The kids practice problems and share solutions in class.

I have no idea if your kid will see it as a negative experience or not. Mine asked to take the class and chooses to continue. He had friends whose parents made then take the class and were less excited to be there.

No this is for tigers

I meant to become a negative experience
