This orphanage -school has about 120 students in all 10 grades from ages 6 through 16. There are only 10 grades of school in Russia. Upon graduation, the students will not be allowed to stay at the school unless a job is provided. Most graduates will enter the "accommodated" job market. Being an orphan in Russia is a harsh identity which permanently labels one as different than normal.
