XI Gymnasium, Secondary education institution in Zagreb, Croatia.
The XI Gymnasium is a secondary school in Zagreb that educates around 465 students divided into 16 classes. The curriculum includes mathematics, sciences, humanities, and foreign languages, with instruction offered in Croatian and English among other languages.
The school was founded in 1926 as a girls school by the Sisters of Charity, with its building constructed in 1937. During World War II, the structure served as a hospital for several hundred people.
The school serves as a gathering place where students build friendships and work together on shared projects. Regular school events and student-led activities shape daily life and create a sense of community among those who study here.
Access to the school grounds is limited to students and staff, as it remains an active educational facility. Visitors should plan to view the building from outside rather than expect entry to interior spaces.
The building was damaged during Zagreb's 2020 earthquake and has since undergone repairs to ensure student safety. This renovation demonstrates how schools adapt and rebuild following natural disasters.
