History
At the end of the 19th century, diocesan women’s schools began to open in Russia where teachers trained in parochial schools were trained. Future teachers recruited clergy in their families. This process did not bypass Perm, and on December 12, 1889, a decree was issued to open such a school in the city. To do this, the widow of Colonel Penninsky purchased a stone one-story building at the corner of Solikamskaya and Petropavlovskaya streets, which had previously been occupied by a station of free mails.
The building was built on the second floor and extended along Solikamskaya Street by the project of the architect A. B. Turchevich . Further along Solikamskaya Street there was the house of Protopopova, who owned coal mines, and this house turned over to excise management, but agreed to cede to the future school.
The grand opening of the Diocesan School was held on September 16, 1891, and three years later the house church built in the name of St. Sophia, Faith, Hope, and Love was consecrated. The first and only head of the school from its opening to closing in 1918 was Pervushina Lyubov Vasilyevna . To help needy female students in 1898, a welfare society was created. From 1909–17, V. S. Verkholantsev (1879–47) was the secretary of this society, a Perm chronicler, candidate of theology. The school was governed by an elected Council.
Training students was multifaceted. The school taught both natural science disciplines - physics, natural history, arithmetic, geography, and humanities - pedagogy, didactics, calligraphy, law, history, singing (church and secular), musical literacy and drawing. For the students to practice teaching at the corner of Pokrovskaya and Solikamskaya streets they built a wooden one-story house with a mezzanine, which housed a parochial school in which they taught senior students (with the exception of music, singing and God's law, which were taught by teachers).
Many students and their teachers lived here at the school, the number of students increased, and soon they began to lack space. Therefore, the old house of Protopopova was demolished in 1905, and in its place according to the project of A.T. Turchevich, a new three-storey building was laid, but due to lack of funding, its opening was delayed until 1913. In 1916, 348 female students studied at the Diocesan School .
After the October Revolution , on December 11, 1917, by the decision of the People’s Commissariat for Education, the Diocesan School was closed. In the new building, in the 1920s, the management of technical schools was located, then the pedagogical and pharmaceutical technical schools. In the old building there was an art and industrial-economic technical school, and in the 1930s a library technical school and school No. 26.
In the years of the Great Patriotic War since 1942, a hospital for disabled people was located in the old building. In 1945, the building, built on the third floor, occupied a choreographic school, created on the basis of the Academic Opera and Ballet Theater evacuated from Leningrad. S.M. Kirov (now the Mariinsky Theater ). The wooden building of the parish school after the Revolution was occupied by an artistic technical school. It died in a fire in 1931.
Now the Perm State Choreographic College is located in the former building of the Diocesan College .
