Gheorghe Șincai National College (
Romanian: Colegiul Național Gheorghe Șincai) is a high school located at 167 Calea Șerban Vodă,
Bucharest, Romania.
History
The school traces its origins to autumn 1890, when two classes were split off from the overcrowded
Matei Basarab High School. Another class was added a year later. A royal decree issued in December 1892 by Education Minister
Take Ionescu established the institution as a classical gymnasium. Upon the proposal of a teacher from
Transylvania, it was named after
Gheorghe Șincai. It became a high school in 1919.[1]
The present building was begun in 1924, and was ready for use in 1928. In 1948, the new
communist regime dropped the Șincai name, which was restored in 1957. Meanwhile, a girls’ high school functioned in the same building until 1956, when the two were merged.[1] Șincai was declared a national college in 2002.[2]
