The modern education programme of the Volhynia Gymnasium, later Lyceum in Krzemieniec (1805–1831)

Abstract

The Volhynia Gymnasium in Krzemieniec was founded by Tadeusz Czacki with considerable help from Hugon Kołłątaj. The school became a Lyceum in 1819 and during its less than 26 years of existence gained a permanent place in the history of the Polish Commonwealth’s eastern territories annexed by Russia, as well as in the history of Polish education. Czacki was responsible for formal and organisation issues, while Kołłątaj prepared the teaching programme on the basis of Czacki’s ideas. The programme was designed for 10 years of education – four 1-year courses plus three 2-year courses. Teaching foreign languages was a priority. The school paid close attention to students’ moral advancement as well as the increase of their knowledge. Students followed a strict set of rules with emphasis on the equality of all students irrespective of their social status. The school offered a rich teaching programme as well as extracurricular activities. Graduates were bound by a sense of brotherhood developed at this school and cultivated their friendships for many years later.
