Summary/Abstract: Serbian grammar school “The home of science” in Thessaloniki was a seven–year school that gave several generations of matriculated students. Some of those students had earned their university degrees in Belgrade, Constantinople, Thessaloniki and other European cities. With their lifetime achievements, they proved to be representative Serbs and had an important role in the area of human creativeness. They were Serbian grammar school teachers in the Ottoman Empire, engineers, doctors, lawyers, writers, publicists, and after the Balkan Wars, also national deputies and politicians. This grammar school was in a way a special department of the Serbian consulate. Using Serbian grammar school in Thessaloniki, the Kingdom of Serbia had largely influenced the people living in this vilayet. As both educational and national institution, it had managed to reach each and every Slav that had felt like Serb. One of the important results of its work was the establishment of a large number of Serbian primary schools in the vilayet of Salonika.
