Gimnazija Bezigrad (Bezigrad High School), Ljubljana

Bežigrad Gymnasium is a coeducational state secondary school for students aged between 15 and 19. Famous for its education quality and eminent alumni, the institution is regarded as one of the best grammar schools in Slovenia. It was founded in 1596 as a Jesuit educational institution and initially was located in the center of Ljubljana, the then capital of the Duchy of Carniola. Until 1889, it was the only grammar school in the city. That year, the Poljane Grammar School was founded and the old institution was renamed to "The First Gymnasium of Ljubljana". In 1936, it was moved to its current location in the Bežigrad district. It soon became known among locals as the "Bežigrad Gymnasium". In 1990, this name was officially adopted.
