Khyriv (Ukrainian: Хирів, IPA: [ˈxɪriu̯]; Polish: Chyrów) is a city in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast (region) of Ukraine with a population of around 4,249 (2022 estimate).[1] It hosts the administration of Khyriv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2]
It became known principally for the celebrated eponymous Jesuit secondary boys school founded there in 1886. The institution, which produced 6,000 alumni during its existence, ceased all activity when the then Polish town fell to Soviet forces in 1939.[3]
