It's a "free" (financed from taxes, of course, which are not small) public school, located in a very rich small city.
Pathetic example of an "ordinary" school.
Schools for the rich? Well, it means they are not only financed from taxes, but from donations of students' parents. I would like to see a regular public schools.
You don't understand how physical fitness and extra-curricular activities, such as fine arts and sports, improve the educational experience? Do I need to link studies on the connection between participation in such activities and student achievement?
Grey, these are public schools. I have provided links and names. I'll post more soon.

If this is the usual state public schools, they are great. (very good)is a free school?
russianonline, are you truly interested in the links between academic achievement and extra-curricular activities? Because I've actually done research on this before, and could dredge up some of the studies I read. (By the way, I've been to school #48 in Vladivostok. Visit it, then compare. It's in V'toraya Rechka, just take a right at Uzbezhskaya...if you can make it up that hill :-D)
If you have studies arguing the opposite -- that sports, fine arts and other in-school extra-curricular activities are NOT beneficial for academic achievement -- feel free to link them.
Sorry I got off-topic. More schools to come...
