Moscow Youths See L.A. and Not Czechoslovakia
A Moscow high school canceled its annual student exchange program with Czechoslovakia and instead sent 10 students to a school in the San Fernando Valley.
The Soviet students--eight girls and two boys from Moscow Secondary School 39-1288--begin two weeks of classes today in computers, American art and politics at Viewpoint School in Calabasas. Officials of the private school said it is the first time Russian exchange students have attended a high school in the Los Angeles area.
In July, 10 Calabasas students will visit the Moscow high school, said school spokesman Russell Cooper-Mead.
