The Classical Gymnasium (Croatian: Klasična gimnazija) was a gymnasium high school (similar to a grammar school in England and Wales) situated in Split, Dalmatia, Croatia. It was founded by the Austrian Empire and its Imperial Royal General Government in Dalmatia in 1817.^[1] Dalmatian Government, in fact, seceded the public part of the Archidiocesan Classical Gymnasium, founded by archbishop Stefano Cosmi in 1700.^[2]

Programme

The program lasted six years till 1848.^[2] As the lyceum was added,^[2] the program lasted eight years till 1967. From 1963 on the first four years were relocated in the eight year elementary school, so the program of the remaining classes lasted four years.

The school reform in 1977 abolished gymnasiums from the school system and Classical gymnasium ceased to exist.^[3] Its program was reimplemented since 1991 in the classical section of I. gimnazija in Split.^[4]
