Ostroh Academy

Ostroh Academy (Polish: Akademia Ostrogska) was an academy located in Ostróg, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It is considered to be the first institution of higher education in the territory of present-day Ukraine, dating to 1576 and founded by the wealthy and influential Ruthenian noble Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski. The academy was closed in 1636 soon after the opening of a Jesuit College in Ostróg (Ostroh).
