Djursholms samskola

[1] The official name of the school today is Viktor Rydbergs Samskola.

The school roll rapidly expanded until a new building was required.

Architect Georg Alfred Nilsson (1871–1949), who had previously designed both the Matteus elementary school and Adolf Fredrik's Music School, was commissioned and designed a new building with an observatory and greenhouse.

[2] The schools early teachers included Alice Tegnér and Erik Axel Karlfeldt, after whom classrooms in the present school are named.

[3] In 2004 the school was taken over by the Viktor Rydberg Foundation, which also runs three other gymnasiums, one of them adjacent to Djursholms Samskola.
