Saint Mary Magdalene High School in Poznań - Liceum Ogólnokształcące św. Marii Magdaleny w Poznaniu (Polish[1]), Ad sanctam Mariam Magdalenam (Latin) - also known under its Polish name "Marynka", is one of the oldest and one of the most prestigious and selective High Schools in Poland.

The school was founded in 1303 by the Order of Jesuits. IN 1939, in recognition of its importance and to thank the school for educating many generations of best scientists, artists and politicians in its 600 years of history, the school was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta by the last free Poland's President Ignacy Moscicki.
