Garrison School




Initially 49 schools were founded, each for 50 boys aged 7 to 15. Upon completion of elementary study course, the boys' education was specialized as follows: 10 boys studied Artillery and Fortification , 20 studied Music (drums and singing), 10 studied trade professions and 10 studied ''advanced writing'' (письмоводство). Most school graduates entered the military service.

In 1798 , the Garrison schools were renamed ''"Military institutions for the orphans"'' (военно-сиротские отделения) which in turn were transformed into Cantonist Schools .
