Zrenjanin Grammar School (Serbian: Зрењанинска гимназија) was established in 1846 as a Piarist school. It is the oldest secondary school in Zrenjanin. At the beginning, school was primarily Hungarian, although Serbs were large minority in Veliki Bečkerek. Students were obligatory to learn Hungarian and German language (after 1907 only Hungarian). Grammar school became Serbian after 1918. School today has one class in Hungarian language.
