Monastery School, Bozhenitsa

[1] According to marginal notes in church books, there had been teachers in Bozhenitsa long before the construction of the school.

Regular education in the school and its first edifice date from 1806 during the Bulgarian National Revival.

Initially, only theological subjects were taught, such as the Book of hours, the Psalms and the Gospels, and later writing and mathematics were added.

The teacher would teach each student separately; Saturday was a day for revision.

[1] In 2006, with contribution by the inhabitants of Bozhenitsa and funds from Botevgrad municipality, the school was restored.
