Chernihiv Collegium

The Chernihiv Collegium (Ukrainian: Чернігівський колегіум) was one of the first educational institutions in the Cossack Hetmanate to provide complete secondary and, subsequently, higher spiritual education on the left bank of the Dnieper. In the period of its highest prosperity, the collegium became a major educational and intellectual center and gained fame in Russia as “Chernigov Athens”. In historiography, the Chernihiv Collegium is considered one of the "first offspring" of the Kyiv-Mohyla Collegium. The collegium is located in the center of Chernihiv, on the edge of the rampart of the former fortress, next to the St. Boris and Gleb Cathedral at the Dytynets Park.
