Abstract:

The girls’ school at the Benedictine abbey in Staniątki was one of the oldest nun-run educational establishments in Poland. Its well-preserved collections and documentation allow for a faithful presentation of its history in the 20th century. In the period of the Partitions of Poland, teaching was not suspended. The school enjoyed the reputation of being one of the best in Austrian Galicia. Its activity expanded after Poland regained independence and was noted for a high level of teaching. The establishment of a boarding school enabled a wider range of educational undertakings. Throughout the German occupation, children of Jewish origin also stayed in the abbey and teaching was conducted in secret. Since 1945, schooling faced increasing difficulties due to the pressure exerted by the communist authorities which led to the closure of the school in 1953. The article is a result of research conducted at the Archives of the Benedictine Abbey in Staniątki (school archives, including accounting books, school catalogues, reports and certificates as well as preserved photographs) and a search query of museum collections (school equipment).
