Belarusian Gymnasium of Vilnia
The Belarusian Gymnasium of Vilnia (Belarusian: Віленская беларуская гімназія) was an important Belarusian school in Vilnius. Many notable Belarusian national leaders of the 20th century graduated from the school.
The Belarusian Gymnasium of Vilnius was founded in 1919, when the city belonged to Poland. Prior to their retreat from the city, Germans allowed opening of the gymnasium in the premises of the former Basilian monastery. The lessons started on February 1, 1919.
In the first year of its existence the school also served as an Orphanage for children from surrounding regions. After the Soviet occupation of Republic of Lithuania in 1944 the school was closed down. It was reestablished after the Collapse of the USSR as the Francishak Skaryna Belarusian School of Vilnius.
