A good 30 years after its foundation, the town of Tilsit in Prussian Lithuania received a particular school in 1586. The Studium particulare should prepare for the Studium generale at the Albertus University of Königsberg , founded in 1544 . Since Margrave Georg Friedrich initiated the establishment and maintenance of the school, it has been called the Princely School in the Duchy of Prussia since 1589 . Between 1586 and 1804 there were 24 rectors in office at the school, whose names and origins are known. In the Kingdom of Prussia , the school received the status of a grammar school in 1812 .

From May 31 to June 2, 1886, the city celebrated the 300th anniversary of the illustrious Tilsense grammar school . The music corps of the Dragoon Regiment "Prince Albrecht of Prussia" (Litthauisches) No. 1 played . The Upper President of the Province of East Prussia, Albrecht von Schlieckmann, wished a happy anniversary celebration for the 400th anniversary of the founding. It took place in Kiel because the Kiel School of Academics had taken on a sponsorship. The 350th anniversary was also celebrated in 1936.
