“The relationship among the adults has more to do with the character and the quality of a school than any other factor.”
Roland Barthes
Faculty
The daughter of a famous, award-winning mathematician, Zina Gulimovskaya holds a B.S. in mathematics (the equivalent of a master’s in the U.S.) from Vinnitsa State Pedagogical University in Ukraine. Before coming to the U.S. she worked for 15 years as a computer programming specialist and 10 years as a math teacher at Vinnitsa High School. Zina joined BPC in 1998 as assistant to her husband, upper school math teacher Anatoliy Gulimovskiy. She is proud that her two daughters have followed in their parents’ footsteps – they are both accomplished math teachers. She loves to cook and take walks.
