Abstract. The Great Reforms initiated the development of Russian private secondary schools: gymnasiums, real and commercial colleges. In the early 20th century, the number of private educational institutions exceeded threefold the number of public educational institutions. However, the same cannot be said about the number of students receiving education in private and public schools. The aim of the article is to investigate the similarities of theoretical views of the proponents of experimental pedagogy and teachers working in leading educational institutions of St. Petersburg in the early 20th century at the example of the Tenishev college and the Stoyunina gymnasium. The aforementioned educational institutions are investigated from a novel perspective. The author investigates historiographic data to compare private educational institutions in St. Petersburg and in Russian provinces, to analyze information related to the owners of private schools and their aims. The research shows that both teachers working in St. Petersburg experimental educational institutions and the proponents of experimental pedagogy believed that academic education should go hand in hand with moral upbringing, understood the necessity of family-school cooperation, and believed there was no need in quantitative testing. The article may be used for further investigation of the similarities of theoretical and practical views of the proponents of liberal education.

 

Keywords: the Stoyunina gymnasium, secondary education institution, independent school, liberal education, the Tenishev college, private education.
