Slavic Greek Latin Academy

Slavic Greek Latin Academy (???????-?????-????????? ???????? in Russian) was the first higher education establishment in Moscow, Russia.

Organisation

The curriculum consisted of two major stages, including elementary stage (grammar, arithmetics, geography, history, languages, dogmatism) and highest stage (theory of poetry, rhetorics, philosophy, theology). The whole educational process lasted for 12 to 15 years. The education itself was similar to that of Western European universities.

The Slavic Greek Latin Academy produced not only theologists, but specialists for civil service, as well, such as medics and translators. During the reign of Peter the Great, the academy began to gradually turn into a higher theological educational establishment, as opposed to many new secular professional schools. In 1721, the Slavic Greek Latin Academy was transferred under the care of the Holy Synod.
