History
In 1959 school № 126 was founded in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. During the first week of the first term school's number was changed to 130 and this number is current nowadays. In 1962 — 63 there were some subjects in English, but this way of teaching turned out to be impracticable. It was quite hard for pupils to learn new information and new English vocabulary. By the end of the academic year british literature was the only English-thought subject. In the same year first pupils graduated the school. There were two graduate classes with 17 tenth-grade pupils in each one.

In 1967 ICT lessons started. Pupils had lessons in Institute of Computational Mathematics, but in 1975 school got its own computer class. . In 1968 the first specialized classes in USSR (math-classes, natural-sciences-classes and humanitarian-sciences-classes) appeared in this school. In 1997 the first school internet-class in Novosibirsk was opened here by George Soros. In 2001 school got Mikhail Lavrentyev's name, and in 2002 it got the status of lyceum.
