    I have had a disappointing experience with the Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) in *************. Their curriculum is comparable to other math schools, but nothing special. In fact, they lag behind in mental math compared to programs that focus more on numerical reasoning. Given the high price tag, I expected a more well-rounded approach. However, the biggest issue isnt the curriculumits their unethical and frustrating accounting practices.Hidden ************ Increases One of the biggest issues with RSM ************* is their handling of tuition and fees. Every year, they sneak in extra administrative fees of $200$300, with no clear explanation. This is in addition to an outrageous 20% annual tuition increase. There is no transparency in how they justify these hikes, making it feel like they are taking advantage of parents.Advance Payment Policy RSM requires parents to pay two months in advance, which is unreasonable. Imagine paying for a May class on March 1stbefore the current semester even ends! This feels more like a cash flow scheme for the school than a fair payment structure.Extra Charge for Accounting Software As if the constant fee increases werent enough, RSM also expects parents to pay separately for their accounting software. Most reputable schools include administrative costs in tuition. Charging parents extra for the system that processes their payments is ************ Thoughts While RSMs academics are serviceable, their financial policies are a major red flag. Surprise fees, excessive price hikes, and unfair payment policies make enrollment a headache. Unless RSM *************, IL changes its approach, families should think twice before signing up.

Russian School of Mathematics is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.

To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.
