Prva gimnazija Varaždin in the past

388 years have passed since the Society of Jesus founded Gymnasium in Varaždin at the time of the Counter-Reformation ideas. According to the data, Gymnasium started with its work in 1636 in the improper premises. As there was constant increase in the number of students, the Croatian Government decided to build the school building to the east of the Jesuit church in 1659. Gymnasium was in this building until 1870 when the new building was finished in Preradovića street, where it is today. Gymnasium became the centre of cultural and educational activities from its beginning and throughout the centuries it has influenced the development of culture and science of both the town of Varaždin and Croatia as well. It has always been the step further into Europe. Gymnasium Varaždin gave broad education to the series of generations, never betraying the humanistic ideas of its founders. Regardless of ideologies or existing political systems, this institution has always accomplished its basic, human tasks of carrying over the message of humanity and prosperity to the future generations.
