The paper deals with the first experience of founding a commercial educational organization in Krasnoyarsk at the beginning of the twentieth century. The main reason for the appearance of this commercial school was the need for professional training of specialists in the field of commerce. The importance of research of the problem of commercial education in Russia was based on the specificity of the region: the lack of professional educational institutions, the extensive development of trade and its considerable economic importance for the country. The main focus was on the process of founding the school and subjects taught. Professional education in Krasnoyarsk began on the iniative of Krasnoyarsk business people and was supported by the local government, as well as the national government. The author shows that stable financial support from the city merchants ensured the successful development of the school training material resources. Some students were excused from paying school fees. In the author’s opinion, the Krasnoyarsk commercial school may be related to the type of general education schools with the special commercial focus.
