Chernivtsi Ukrainian Gymnasium (Ukrainska himnaziia v Chernivtsiakh). A secondary school in Chernivtsi, which was opened in 1896 and which offered courses in both Ukrainian and German. Under the Romanian occupation it was steadily Romanianized, beginning in 1920. By 1925 the Ukrainian language was taught only as a subject, and in 1927 it was abolished from the curriculum altogether. In 1918 the school became the Ukrainian State Gymnasium, but in 1922 the Romanians changed the name to the Fourth Gymnasium, and in 1930 to Liceul Marele Voievod Mihai. Among the gymnasium's principals were K. Kozak, Ahenor Artymovych, and P. Klym. Teachers at the gymnasium included Myron Korduba, Volodymyr Kmitsykevych, Yuliian Kobyliansky, A. Klym, and Mykola Ravliuk. In 1913 the gymnasium had an enrollment of 560 and a faculty of 34. After 1940 the gymnasium was transformed into a ten-year school.
