=Introduction=

The San Diego Russian School was founded in 1998 by several families of friends. It is an effort to help Russian children living in San Diego communicate in their native language outside home, learn and understand Russian history, culture and literature, as well as experience science instruction delivered in Russian. Since 1998, the school has grown from a few families into a much larger organization, attended by kids from all over San Diego. The San Diego Russian School is an entirely non-profit organization. The school curriculum changes every year, following the growth of the initial group of pupils. As the first generation of students grew older and left for college in 2006, the school accepted a new group of Russian-speaking students. In the 2006-2007 academic year, two classes were taught for students aged 9-11: Introduction to the History and Geography of Russia, and Rhetorics and Language Skills. In 2007-2008 academic year, three classes were offered: History and Geography of Russia, Arts History, and Amusing Physics.

This year, there will be two student groups:
 * 10 - 13 year-olds
 * 14 - 25 year-olds

San Diego Russian School professors will be teaching three classes: The History of Russia, Russian Literature, and Russian Art History.
