Imperial Alexander Lyceum
The Imperial Lyceum (Imperatorskiy Tsarskosel'skiy litsey) in Tsarskoye Selo "Imperial Village" near Saint Petersburg, also known historically as the Imperial Alexander Lyceum after its founder Tsar Alexander I, was an educational institution which was founded in 1811 with the object of educating youths of the best families who would afterwards occupy important posts in the Imperial service. • Illustration — The yard of the Imperial Lyceum. Its regulations were published on 11 January 1811, but they had received the Imperial sanction on 12 August 1810, when the four-story "new" wing of the Great Palace was appointed for its accommodation. The Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum was opened on 19 October 1811.
