The school opened on September 1, 2023; currently there are over 1,150 students studying there and more than 70 teachers working at the school. It was named after Vladimir Bulatov, rector of Pomorye State University in 1986–2007, who made a great contribution to the development of Arkhangelsk as a cultural and educational centre in the Russian Arctic zone.
