Sažetak
By the foundation of the Secondary grammar school in Varaždin in the year 1633, that town has gained - according to the words written by Ferdinand II, the imperor, "the home for creating the God - loving and Enlightement" thus joining to the European school level and tradition. From that time lots of highly educated professors, learned, prominent and influential Croats having abided there, founded a library which in 1773 held more than 1000 books, making possible the theatre tradition coming to life too. As the teaching was free of charge, education had become available to all children - either coming
from aristocratic, middle or common people class.
The Jesuit secondary grammar school has its source in the founder of the Jesuit order, Ignatie Loyola, the Parisian student who introduced the methods of Parisian University and also the exsperiences of Italian high school models into the Jesuit schools. That "Roman model" had finally been adopted through "Ratio studiorum" whose principles were applied to the Varaždin Secondary grammer school too. The object of all the Jesuit school institution had been, in adition to the scientific ground, the religious and moral formation of the youth. The teaching language was Latin, the samo as throughout
Europe at that time, but with great attention being paid to the Croatian language, specially through religious literature, kathehetic lectures and the preaching of both missionaries and preachers.
The Varaždin secondary grammar school had a great influence ovver the formation of life in the town itself, owing to the presence of learned preachers - professors and a great number of students coming from various parts of the country. There were
also founded the students as well as civic communities and academies.
The new baroque style having been entered, has left a peculiar feature on Varaždin arhitecture.
