Summary/Abstract: In its past Senj had many schools and so eventually over time it developed into a strong educational centre. Here at the foot of Senj's slopes there is scarce room for fertile land between the land and the sea the schools once meant life. Their work developed largely because of economic conditions, but also due to historical circumstances which affected their activities and survival. In this article the author, amongst other things totals up some lesser-known facts about schooling in Senj and so provides a definite contribution to the overall history of education in this region. The article gives a historical sequence in the opening of the mentioned schools in Senj, their development, activities and certain difficulties in their work.
