The beginning

The history of the picturesque surrounding historically known as Klov, where Klovskiy Lyceum is situated dates back to the time when there was here a rough, babbling brook flowing down the steep hill to join the brimming river Lybid. 

It’s been a long time since the Klovskiy cloister laid by abbot Stephan as far back as the XI century had been here. But there is a special force and grace here for sure. For more than hundred years kernels of wisdom and enlightenment develop from here: on October 1, 1900 a two-year initial school for “Arsenal” workers’ children was opened here. Since the year 1937 is had been a secondary school No. 77 up to 1992 when it got the name Klovskiy Lyceum No. 77.

Klovskiy Lyceum #77 is situated in the central part of the Kyiv city, the Pechersk District which is one of the oldest and most picturesque capital's districts. The Pechersk District has its own history which is interesting, rich and enchanting...
