The final court decision was made on November 25, 2025.

According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the lyceum was nominally owned by two offshore companies — Jensen Cort Ltd, registered in the Virgin Islands, and the Panamanian Dayspring Group. inc.
The Lyceum was founded in the nineties of the last century on the site of the former Korallovo recreation center in the premises of an ancient manor.

The last large sum was received in 2022 — 601.5 million rubles. In 2023 and 2024, the lyceum operated mainly through the use of accumulated funds. In 2024, the amount of donations decreased to 10 million rubles. at an annual cost of 330 million. By the beginning of 2025, the remaining target funds amounted to 177 million rubles, which should have been enough just before the court's decision on nationalization.
In conditions of financial instability, the educational organization was looking for alternative ways of financing. In 2024, the Podmoskovny Boarding School Support Fund was established, which was supposed to collect donations from representatives of various graduates of the lyceum. In 2024, the fund was able to raise 91 million rubles.
