”Notre Dame de Sion” Institute of Bucharest. An emblem of Bucharest's private education of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries

Summary/Abstract: The Institute "Notre Dame de Sion" in Bucharest was a private school for girls founded in 1898 with intensive teaching in French. The educational institution was founded by the Order of Nuns "Notre Dame de Sion", which is why it was also called the French Catholic school for girls. The girls' pension functioned in rented premises until 1912, when the building on Pache Protopopescu Boulevard was built, a school space that corresponded to the school requirements for the twentieth century. This school organized courses for primary and secondary school, with its own curriculum subject annually to the approval of the Ministry of Cults and Public Instruction. The Institute ceased its activity in 1948, when, through the nationalization process, the school came into the possession of the state, but the new communist regime kept the school destination of the building; the school's last headmistress, Marie Clemens de Sion, was arrested and taken to the prisons of the communist political regime.
