Klovskiy
Lyceum #77 (former Secondary School #77) is more than 100 years old. During
the last century our country faced a number of historical
events, which influenced all the people greatly and had a great effect
on our Lyceum’s life.
Our
school was founded on October, 1, 1900 attached to one of the oldest
city plants – Arsenal. The
workers opened this school for their children to study. This
was the first proletarian school in Kyiv. At first it was a one-year
primary school , in 1904 the children got a chance to study here for
two years. A number of pupils increased every year. In 1900 there were
already 90 pupils at school, in 1902 – 113 pupils, in 1903 – 170,
next year the number of pupils at school reached 200…
The
first teachers were Anna Sniezshkova, a principal, Maria Kameneva,
Elizabeth Gippenroyter, Sava Petrunevich and others. During the first years of the school’s existence teachers tried to develop their pupils’ love for art. The school used to have its small amateur theater and a band. Everyone was fond of singing. So it is obvious that this school gave birth
to such world-famous singers like Mariya Lytvynenko-Volhelmut and
Konstantin Laptyev.
In 1917 our school moved to a new school building at 7a, Klovska st. Today it is part of the plant territory. It
was the school’s address until 1937. After this year the school
changed together with its names. Since
then the City Council, the Governor of Public Education, National
Committee of Education were in charge of the way the school was run. In
1918 the school’s official name was Arsenal School #138, in 1923 it
got the name
of
School #77,
in 1934 it got the name of Secondary School #77. In
1928 the school was named after Andriy Ivanov, an Arsenal worker. In
1935 Arsenal administration made a request to the Ukrainian government in
order to receive money for the school’s development, i.e. creation of
new laboratories and library enlargement. A new school building for
the Arsenal school was opened. It was the time when a lot of new schools were
built in Kyiv. The school year of 1937 began in a new school building. Before the WWII broke out the school had the same interests as the whole country. Training at the aero club, Aircraft and Chemistry circles, pioneer camps, meetings with Spanish children, school theatre, literary soirees etc. More
than a hundred pupils and teachers of School #77 on the very first days
of the war went to the front to defend our Motherland, some of them just from the school bench… Today
there is an exposition based on the documents from the School #77 museum
in the Museum of the WWII (Graduates of 1941). According
to all available information more that forty pupils perished during the
WWII. Their surnames are registered in the Memory Book of Kyiv. When
the war broke out the school functioned until August, 19, 1941. In
the years of occupation (1942-1943) the school didn't work, despite
the fact some teachers gathered pupils themselves, fed them and taught
them little by little at their homes. After
the liberation of Kyiv from the fascists forces school classes were turned
into the military hospital. In 1947- 1953 it became a school again - a Secondary School for Men #77. In 1964 it became a school specialized in teaching English from the first grade.
In 1992 it got the name of Klovskiy Lyceum No. 77 of Foreign languages.
