State school in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth
The Warsaw Corps of Cadets (English: School of Chivalry; Polish: Szkoła Rycerska or Akademia Szlachecka Korpusu Kadetów) was the first state school in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
In the reign of Stanisław August Poniatowski, several private corps of cadets were also established: by A. Tyzenhauz at Grodno, K. Radziwiłł at Nieśwież, W. Potocki at Niemirów, A. Sułkowski at Rydzyna.[1]
Interbellum
In the period between the two World Wars, the institution of the Corps of Cadets would be revived in Poland. Three state secondary schools of that name would be created: at Kraków (later at Lwów), at Modlin (later at Chełmno) and at Rawicz.[2]
