History

edit

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]

The school building is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, as is the sculpture of Șincai by Ion Schmidt-Faur, in front of the school entrance.[3]
