| Orinda Academy recently hosted several Russian high school students and teachers from Novouralsk, Russia. The school the Russian students attend is Gymnasia #41. The students and teachers came to Orinda Feb. 23-27 as part of a cultural and educational trip where they visited the school, lived with teachers and students, and visited the San Francisco Zoo. Orinda Academy and Gymnasia #41 are currently developing a student/ teacher exchange program to extend their ongoing relationship from the past five years. The students have attended The Critical Issues Forum conferences together (nuclear nonproliferation conferences), where they have collaborated on research projects. The Critical Issues Forum conferences have been held in Russia and in Monterey, California. Students have also worked together via Skype.
