History

The Jesuits moved their grammar school from Szepeshely to Lőcse in 1672. It was located in the old Minorite monastery and also in a new building. The building was added a new floor in 1738 and was reconstructed in 1844.

The Jesuit Order was dissolved by the pope in 1773. The grammar school was run by the Minorites from 1776 to 1789, afterwards it had secular teachers. The Norbertines run the school from 1811 to 1852, then it became a state grammar school. After the fall of the Hungarian War of Independence in 1849, during the Bach Era (Habsburg absolutism) the Hungarian teachers were replaced by Czech and Moravian teachers, who did not speak Hungarian. The official language of the education became the German. After the fall of the absolutism in 1861 Hungarian teachers took back the education. The Hungarian State built a new building for the grammar school (high school) between 1911 and 1913 according to the plans of Hajós Alfréd, and the old building was demolished. After the Czechoslovak invasion in 1919 it was turned into a Czechoslovak state grammar school.
