Tartu Karlova Gymnaasium (Estonian: Tartu Karlova Gümnaasium; abbreviated as TKG) is a secondary school in Tartu, Estonia. The school was founded in 1875 by Pauline Jürgens.

History

Tartu Karlova Gymnasium is one of the oldest schools in Tartu. Our roots go back as far as 1875 when Pauline Jürgens II founded her own private school. The name and the address have changed during the time. Today's building in Lina 2 street was finished in 1925 and was known as the Tartu City 7th Primary School. In 1967 the new part of our school was built and first boys could learn in spezialised music and history classes. Since then our school was highschool. Since the 1st of September 1995, the name of our school is Tartu Karlova Gymnasium.[1]
