Russians go straight from 8th grade to college, so there are no high schools anywhere in Russia. Just hang at the hotel with your sister.
2 :
There are close to 70 schools in Sochi. Schools are regional, therefore you attend a school based on wherever you live, unless you decide to attend private school outside of the district. In Russia education is 11 years, hence 11 grades. A student would attend the same school throughout 11 years. The grades are separated similarly to that of US (Elementary, Middle, Junior High, High). After 9th grade, a student can choose to stop going to school and start a professional institute similar to Vocational Technical School. If you complete 11 grades than you can apply to attend University.

Most summer camps hire people from outside the country, try researching those in the areas that you are interested in working.

Cell phone in RUSSIA

Cell phone in RUSSIA?!?!?
I currently have a Verizon cell phone here in the US (Idaho) but in September I am moving to Moscow City, Russia to nanny for a family. I will be there anywhere from 6 months to two years, and I was wondering how the cell phone thing would work. Will my Verizon phone even work in Russia? I can't go out of the country without being able to keep in contact with my friends and family, but would I have to buy a cell phone plan there, or will this one still work there? Thanks!

Your Verizon phone will not work in Russia simply because Verizon's network is not GSM. Verizon uses its own CDMA technology, which is not supported anywhere. In order for your phone to work in Russia, you need to buy any unlocked GSM quad-band phone in US. This will allow you to buy a SIM card in Russia (similar to phone card) that you will simply insert into your phone and use. I travel to Russia all the time. I bought an unexpensive Unlocked GSM Nokia phone, without any contract obligation in US. This phone works everywhere in the world for me where GSM network is present. You can buy a phone on eBay, or if you don't trust buying stuff on eBay you can get a GSM phone from Dell.com for example. I personally like Nokia.
