Abstract:
The Jewish gymnasium of the Society of Knowledge Friends in Radom operated between 1917 and 1939. The gymnasium for males was established in 1917 and the one for females a year later. The financial and academic supervision over both schools was provided by the Jewish School Society of Knowledge Friends in Radom, which brought together wealthy assimilated Jews. The president of the Society was Mosek Kelerwurm, the vice-president was Hilary Frenkiel and the treasurer was Aleksander Borenstein. The gymnasiums had the rights of state schools, which they lost in 1923 due to the declining level of education. From 6 September 1927, the school operated as a Coeducational Gymnasium of the Society of Knowledge Friends. Its educational process adhered to the humanistic approach and lasted eight years. The educational facility received partial rights as a state school in 1928 and full rights in 1939. As a result of the education reform in Poland in 1932, at the request of the Society, a six-year private primary school was opened along the gymnasium in September 1933.
