Läroverket för gossar och flickor

Läroverket för gossar och flickor, (English: The educational institution for boys and girls) also known as Brobergska samskolan or Broban, was a Swedish-language school that operated in Helsinki, Finland, from 1883 to 1973.

[2] The author and artist Tove Jansson, creator of Moomin, went to Läroverket för gossar och flickor.

Läroverket för gossar och flickor was founded in 1883 by Professor Fridolf Gustafsson,[3] assessor Uno Kurtén and assisting professorin Georg Asp.

[4] Läroverket för gossar och flickor offered nine educational levels, and from 1889 the students could complete the matriculation examination and thereby qualify for entry into university.

[4] The school operated at various addresses in central Helsinki until 1895, when it moved in to its own building at Korkeavuorenkatu 23, where the Design Museum is now located.
