Are there any high schools in Sochi Russia


Are there any high schools in Sochi Russia?
I may go as a foreign exchange student... Do you know of any high schools? My sister lives in Sochi, Russia and works at a high class hotel (she's pure Russian, she speaks it will)

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.

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.
