ACADEMIC GYMNASIUM, the first general secondary education institution in Russia. It was founded as a part of the Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1724 and opened in January 1726 to provide training to boys coming from various free social classes for entering the Academic University. They were taught Latin, German, and French languages, Russian literature, history, geography, mathematics, natural sciences, and drawing. M. S. Lomonosov was the director of the gymnasium in 1758-65 and drew up its regulations in 1759. A juvenile department was opened in 1765. United with the Academic University as the Academy School in 1770s, it provided a university curriculum to students, also called eleves, from among senior pupils of the gymnasium. The gymnasium was situated in the same building as the university in Troitskoe Metochion at the corner of Fifth Line of Vasilievsky Island and Bolshaya Neva River Embankment moving to the Barons Stroganov's house in Tuchkovaya Embankment in 1764. It numbered 112 pupils in 1726, 40 in 1759, 29 in 1779, and 87 in 1802. The gymnasium was closed in 1852, its 55 pupils making up the first class at the newly-established Petersburg Regional Gymnasium. Among its charges, the gymnasium had I. I. Lepekhin, N. Y. and P. N. Ozeretskovsky, A. G. Volkov, V. V. Popugaev, Y. D. Zakharov, V. M. Severgin, et al. References: Толстой Д. А. Академич. гимназия в XVIII столетии: По рукоп. док. Архива АН. СПб., 1885; Марголис Ю.
