Ostroh Academy was an influential institute of higher learning located in Ostroh, Ukraine, then part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It is considered the first institution of higher education in the Eastern Slavic world, dating to 1576 and founded by the wealthy Ruthenian magnate Konstanty Wasyl Ostrovskyi. The academy was at the centre of what historians have called the "Ostroh Renaissance",[1] an Orthodox cultural revival led by the Rus’ magnates of Poland-Lithuania in resistance to the dominant Reformation and Counter-Reformation.[2]
