The school, which is one hundred percent Swiss owned, was recognized by the local St Petersburg government as a private language training institute in 1995. International recognition followed when, in 1997, Liden & Denz became the first Russian school to join the International Association of Language Centers.

Recently the school became one of the few official preparation centers for the state exam 'Russian As A Foreign Language.'
