Abstract
In 1902, Milka Broch started a private high school for girls in Pakrac. The school was transferred to Zagreb in 1913, where it was called the Private High School for Girls. In 1925, the school became a Private junior real gymnasium for boys and girls, and in 1927 it was renamed to the Private gymnasium for boys and girls of the »Association for Individual Cultivation and Teaching of Youth in Zagreb« led by of Dr. Ada Broch and her sisters, Milka and Paula. When the school moved to Zagreb, a boarding school was attached, first for Jewish girls, then for boys. The headmistress of those schools was Milka Broch from 1902 to 1928, and after that partially Adam Rubetić and Ada Broch. In this text, we give a brief overview of the lives and careers of the three Broch sisters as much as is relevant for their pedagogical activity, and then we describe how their private gymnasium operated in the period between 1925 and 1940. In 1940 it was suddenly deprived of its licence to inscribe new students.
