Clerical High School of Saint Arsenije

Clerical High School of Saint Arsenije (Serbian: Богословија Свети Арсеније Сремац, Bogoslovija Sveti Arsenije Sremac) is the oldest Serbian seminary, a clerical Grande école.

It is a college following the French academic standards of the Grande école, hence Higher School or Visoka škola, on par with university.

During the 19th century, along with the Orthodox Seminary in Belgrade, it formed the basis of Serbian theological education.

[2] The second half of the 19th century represents the golden age in the history of this school, when Ilarion Ruvarac became the rector, and Baron Jovan Živković was one of the professors.

[citation needed] The Clerical school was closed in 1914, after the World War I reestablished in Belgrade.
