Primary School No. 1 named after Nicolaus Copernicus in Lidzbark Warmiński
Primary School No. 1 named after Nicolaus Copernicus in Lidzbark Warmiński was established from the centuries-old tradition of a parish school established in Warmia in accordance with the recommendation of Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241). Every parish priest was obliged to appoint a cleric to assist in performing liturgicalieties and to run a school. The Lidzbark parish was established shortly after the end of the wars with Prussia, and it was first mentioned in 1305 (parish priest Heinemann). The establishment of the school is hypothetically dated to the first quarter of the 14th century. In Warmia, only cathedral schools in Frombork and Glotów – Dobre Miasto were established earlier. The Latin school in Lidzbark was managed by the parish priest, who supervised the teachers and made staff transfers. The school provided the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, church singing and teaching the trivium, i.e. grammar, rhetoric and dialectics. These sciences, from which the negative term “trivial” is derived today, provided the basics of knowledge of the language of science – Latin, taught logical thinking and the art of discussion. In Lidzbark, special attention was paid to teaching church singing. Greek was also introduced. (…)
Until the end of the 18th century, graduates of the Lidzbark school were students of renowned European universities.
More about the school on the website.
On May 5, 2025, the Nicolaus Copernicus Academy concluded an agreement with the principal of Primary School No. 1 named after Nicolaus Copernicus to transfer the exhibition.
On May 6, students of grades 7-8 of Primary School No. 1 named after Nicolaus Copernicus attended a lecture by members of the Home Army:
Kazimierz Jagiellończyk Secondary School in Lidzbark Warmiński
The school was established on September 1, 1945 under the name of the State Coeducational Secondary School in Lidzbark Warmiński, located at ul. Orła Białego 5 in Lidzbark Warmiński. The first principal Leon Sienkiewicz was the initiator of the school establishment. In 1947, the first secondary school leaving exam was held there in the evening school for adults (with 18 graduates taking it). It was not until 1966 that the General Secondary School in Lidzbark Warmiński was named after Kazimierz Jagiellończyk, and on September 1, 1980, it was also granted the honorary title of Grunwald School.

On May 5, 2025, the Nicolaus Copernicus Academy presented the exhibition for the Jagiellończyk Secondary School to the Mayor of Lidzbark Warmiński:
Szkoła Podstawowa przy Zespole Szkół im. Mikołaja Kopernika we Fromborku
On October 15, the Copernican Academy donated two sets of the exhibition, consisting of eleven roll-up panels, in Polish and English, to the Primary School at the Nicolaus Copernicus School Complex in Frombork.
The first mention of a school in Frombork dates back to the Middle Ages. During the development of Cathedral Hill, one of the chapter buildings inside the fortress, right next to the Southern Gate, was designated as a cathedral school.
Before the partition of Poland in 1772, a parish school existed in the city. After the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, when Frombork and all of Warmia fell within Prussia’s borders, a German school was established. In the early 19th century, the authorities purchased land at the intersection of today’s Krasickiego and Elbląska Streets, where a pastor’s house and an evangelical school were built. A dozen or so years later, a neo-Gothic church was built next to them. The authors of the work “Catalogue of Art Monuments: Elbląg Voivodeship” list school buildings constructed in the late 19th century during the development of the land along the road to Pasłęk.
