Simferopol gymnasium №1, located in Simferopol, Crimea, was founded in 1812 and is one of the oldest public schools in Ukraine.

Tavrish, after Simferopolish man gymnasium, was founded in the autumn of 1812 during the reign of Alexander I. Its opening was dictated by the need for middle school children, who had finished lower school courses, to continue their education and prepare for the university.

During its first year, only 17 pupils attended the gymnasium and Fedor Petrovich Zаstavski was its first director. However, by 1835 the number rose to about 477.

Events of Crimean war (1853-1856 yy.) had influence on gymnasium life, and several free buildings were used for a hospital.

In 1970, there was conference of teachers of tavrish province, where Konstantin Ushinsky took a part. In memory of this event gymnasium has its current name.

In 1991 the school became a gymnasium again. After that its curriculum was enriched with such subjects as the history of world art, foreign literature, logic. From the first class pupils have a choice to study either English, French, or German; they also study Ukrainian language. From the 5 class a second foreign language is introduced.

A museum was opened in the gymnasium in 1968 and awarded an exemplary status in 2004.

Now school is situated in two buildings: an old one, that was build in later 30 years of XIX century, and the new one.

Gymnasium has a so-called first-level school (start education), general school of second level and gymnasium school, which are attended by about 800 pupils (5-11 classes) of its 1187 pupils.
