Abstract

Before 1773 Poznań had two secondary schools - the Lubrański Academy and the Jesuit college. Both were prestigious and famous in the then Republic of Poland. Were there any elements of their pedagogical program that significantly distinguished them? The article tries to answer this question by analyzing the educational goals realized in both institutions in the discussed period on the basis of normative texts, student notebooks, lecture scripts, publications of students' works, and theatre programs. Especially the latter category of sources is important because it shows with certainty what was actually taught in these schools and what values were given special attention.
