Xenia Institutes in Kazan & St Petersburg

I am researching my grandmother's life and on her C.V she says she attended the College of Grand Duchess Xenia in Kazan. I have only located this college in St Petersburg.

I am interested in any information anyone might have about the college - St Petersburg and / or Kazan.

I expect she was there sometime between 1912 - 1917.

Thanks

Sue

There was Kseniinskiy Institute in St-Petersbourg in 1895-1917 years, which had its place in Nikolaevskiy Palace, former family Palace of the Nikolayevitchi branch of the Romanovs (now Dvorets Truda). Grand Duchess Xenia was a patroness of the Institute.
The pupils were girls, daughters of poor officers and non-militray officials,  who then graduated as teachers and governesses .

Also there was Kseniinskaya high school for girls in Kazan in 1880-1917 years.

Here's a modern photo of its building:

Thankyou for your response. Have you any idea where I would get anymore information about this school? What is the building used for today?

This is how the Kseniinskaya school looked in the early 1900s:

The building currently holds the Kazan' Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Science.

Thanks..I don't seem to be able to access the picture you mentioned. Am keen to see it!

This women's secindary school in Kazan was sponsored by Grand Duchess Xenia>

I am keen to find photos and information for 1900 - 1917.

Can anyone assist?

Amongst the pupils of the Xenia Institute in St Petersburg was the noted writer E M Almedingen (1898-1971)who later emigrated to UK in 1922.
