History
Prior to the opening of the Soviet Mission School, an elementary school was created in New York on July 3, 1954 per order № 52 of the then Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The elementary school was transformed into the Soviet Mission School, an eight-year school with in-depth study of English, on September 11, 1974 per order № 956 of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The school was also moved to its new location in the Soviet Mission Residency from its previous location at 67th Street and Lexington Avenue. The Russian Mission Residency is a 20-story building built in 1974 that also contains 240 apartments, an auditorium, a gymnasium, a playground, a theater, a barber shop, stores, and an underground garage able to hold 100 cars. The land that the building is on was purchased by the Soviet Union in December 1971.
After Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan signed a cultural agreement in November 21, 1985, one form of encouraging Soviet-American exchanges happened at this school where Russian students from this school had meetings with local American high school students.
On July 27, 1988 the school was converted from an eight-year school to a high school per order № 3593 of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
