Clerical High School of Saint Arsenije (Serbian: Богословија Свети Арсеније Сремац, Bogoslovija Sveti Arsenije Sremac) is the oldest Serbian seminary, a clerical Grande école. It is a college following the French academic standards of the Grande école, hence Higher School or Visoka škola, on par with university. The university is located at Sremski Karlovci.
It was founded in 1794, three years after the Gymnasium of Karlovci by Metropolitan Stefan Stratimirović. Then the city was the seat of the autocephalous Metropolitanate of Karlovci (later it became the Patriarchate of Karlovci).
This school represents one of the oldest and most important educational institutions for Serbs. During the 19th century, along with the Orthodox Seminary in Belgrade, it formed the basis of Serbian theological education.
The second half of the 19th century represents the golden age in the history of this school, when Ilarion Ruvarac became the rector, and Baron Jovan Živković was one of the professors. In that period one of the first departments for bee keeping was established in the school. The Clerical school was closed in 1914, after the World War I reestablished in Belgrade.
The modern Clerical school called "Saint Arsenije Sremac" was founded in 1964, in a building called zgrada Crkveno-narodnih fondova (lit. 'seat of the Church and People's funds' or 'of the Church and Common funds'), built at the beginning of the 20th century by Patriarch Georgije Branković, located in the old city core.
The building of the school houses the Archives of Sremski Karlovci, the oldest modern type Serbian archive.
