History
In 1675 Franciscan monks settled down in Léva and built a monastery. They built a church next to the monastery in 1720 with the help of Baron Jaklin. In 1786 the Franciscans had to leave Léva because of the decree of Emperor Joseph II that banned several Catholic monastic orders. In 1806 the buildings were auctioned off. Bossányi Krisztina, the wife of Szentiványi János, vice ispán of Bars, convinced his husband to do everything so that a grammar school could be opened in the building. After long and persistent work the Piarist Grammar School of Léva was finally opened on November 5, 1815 on the day of the feast of St. Imre. In 1886 it became a main grammar school of 8 classes, where final exams could also be taken. The new building of the grammar school was completed in 1886. The Hungarian poet Juhász Gyula also taught at the school. After the Czechoslovak invasion it became a Czechoslovak grammar school and the Hungarian-Ianguage education became limited in the Hungarian town. The Piarists handed over the grammar school to the Catholic parish in 1922. When the town returned to Hungary in 1938, the leadership of the town asked the Piarists to return, but the conditions didn't make it possible. Now a Slovak commercial school occupies the building.
