The article considers current issues of the development of the interiors of educational institutions from their inception to the most modern. The features of the architectural and spatial design of schools of different eras are analyzed. Changes under the influence of social, cultural, climatic and pedagogical factors are studied – starting from ancient edubas to modern schools. It is noted that the change in the organization of space reflects not only the development of architecture and construction, but also the evolution of learning, increasing the accessibility of learning, changing views on the child, education and the role of school in society. The study emphasizes the importance of studying the history of the interior of school premises as a basis for the formation of new approaches to the design of the educational environment. Understanding historical evolution allows you to create spaces that not only meet modern requirements, but also contribute to the development of personality, the formation of values and cultural continuity. The evolution of Ukrainian school buildings and the learning process is separately considered – starting from Kyivan Rus and ending with modern schools. It is emphasized that changes in the interior of Ukrainian schools reflect the evolution of social values. The study of these stages is of practical importance for modern architects and designers of the educational environment, as it allows taking into account historical experience, cultural heritage and modern pedagogical needs when designing schools of the future.
