On Thursday, February 4,  at 6:30 PM  Russian School of Mathematics (RSM-Newton ) will hold a FREE informational session for Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) . Session is OPEN to all parents of  middle school students who are interested in advanced courses.

Center for Talented Youth (CTY) at Johns Hopkins University has focused on the needs of students with exceptionally high academic abilities.  These students need special attention: greater academic challenges, interaction with intellectual peers, and teaching strategies designed especially for the gifted. To qualify for CTY courses RSM students are taking CTY tests (SAT) in grades 7-8, and most of them pass the math part with even higher scores than average Massachusetts 11th grade students.

Russian School of Mathematics in Newton will host the 13th annual Math Kangaroo-USA, one of the greatest International Math Competitions for grades 1-12. Participation is OPEN for ANY child in grades 1-12.  Registration is extended until  January 27th (only for students who would like to come to RSM-Newton for the competition). Register online at www.mathkangaroo.com .

All students are given recognition and gifts for participation. Every year more than 5,000,000 students from over 40 countries participate in the contest. Math Kangaroo is a popular international non-selective competition in mathematics for students in grades 1 through 12.  The competition takes the form of a multiple choice test.  Each participant is seen as a winner and receives recognition and gifts on the test day in March.  Those who achieve the top results are awarded in May.  The atmosphere of appreciation for the students' learning and the fun in each competition room across USA are the reasons why participants return year after year and bring their siblings and friends along.  Math Kangaroo helps the students both to develop their skills and to enjoy mathematics even more.
