The school was created in 1963 in collaboration with Moscow State University with the initiative of the world-famous mathematician, member of Soviet Academy of Sciences, Andrei Kolmogorov.

Together with Kolmogorov, the initial idea belonged to academician Isaak Kikoin, rector of Moscow University Ivan Petrovskiy, president of SAS Mstislav Keldysh. It was named FMSH-18(in Russian short for Physical and Mathematical school number 18).

The founders wanted to give countryside students an opportunity to receive good both physical and mathematical education in a level playing field.

Kolmogorov and Petrovsky personally participated in student interview as part admissions process.
