In 1389 a Latin school
was begun north of the St. Bavochurch in the Schoolsteeg. After the Siege of Haarlem
when the city council seized all Catholic possessions, the school moved in 1592 to the quarters of the old Dominican Order
monastery located behind the City Hall
. The current school is still located there on the Prinsenhof, that can be reached via the Jacobijnestraat. It still offers a classical curriculum, including studies in Latin
and Greek
.
The first rector recorded is 'Meester Gheraerde de scoelmeester' in 1301. In 1389 the city was given the privilege of appointing the rector together with the pastor of the Bavo. The rector was paid by the fees paid by students. He also took in students from outside the city and received extra fees for room & board. From his income, he paid the teachers (ondermeesters) himself. The basis for education was the 'artes liberales', whereby parts of the Trivium were given in Latin and the Quadrivium included music, since the choir boys needed to sing in church. For boys studying theology, Hebrew lessons were given in addition to Latin (Greek only became available from 1522). Students wanting to continue their studies, needed to leave the country before the Leiden University
was founded in 1579. According to the archives of the Heilige Geest, a religious institution formerly located at what is now the Hofje van Oorschot
, they had a fund from 1502 to 1577 (the Satisfactie) for sending good students to Cologne
to further their studies there. In 1553, when the school had been run by Junius, they even petitioned Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor
for the right to found a university in Haarlem, but this was never answered. After the Satisfactie van Haarlem
in 1577, the books of all the monasteries and cloisters in Haarlem were given to the Latin school and the rector Cornelis Schonaeus (1540–1611) took two weeks to draw up the inventory list. This same Schonaeus was the one who was in charge of moving the school from the schoolsteeg to the current location in 1583. He almost lost his job when the council decided to start a collegie or university there, but perhaps because Leiden had already been founded, this never happened. He did complete a major reorganization of the school that was then placed in the hands of his successor, Theodorus Schrevelius
.
During the years 1864-1875 and again from 1925–1933, the school merged with the Hogere Burger School (Haarlem)
, due to a decrease in enrollment.
The Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem was the last school in the Netherlands where lessons were taught on Saturday mornings. This was finally discontinued in the school year 2000-2001. The Prinsenhof itself is a historic Hortus Medicus, that used to contain medicinal herbs tended by the students, but is now a grassy garden tended by the city parks service. A historic statue to Laurens Janszoon Coster
that was originally located on the city square, was moved here in 1823 to make way for a new one. Also located in the hortus is a small "peace temple" that was originally placed in 1648 to commemorate the Peace of Münster
.
