“Each child is different but the mission is the same—to provide a balanced approach to the teaching of mathematics grounded in sound theory yet infused with innovation.”

With more than 30 years of experience teaching Nursery through Grade 10, Linda Russo joined Poly Prep in 2007. She taught Middle School math for several years and now teaches Upper School math. She earned her bachelor’s degree from SUNY Oswego and her master’s in math leadership education from Bank Street College. In 2014, Linda accompanied a team of four Poly Grade 7 students to Walt Disney World in Florida: They were among four finalist teams that competed for the top prize in the national MATHCOUNTS Math Video Challenge competition. Linda has also co-advised the Middle School Math Olympiad and has been a co-leader of W.I.S.E., Poly’s STEM symposium for middle and high school girls led by professional women scientists and engineers.
