Kjellbergska flickskolan

[1] The school was founded by a fund granted in the will of the wealthy merchant Jonas Kjellberg (1752–1832).

[2] [3] The stated purpose of the school was to provide education to make it possible for females to support themselves professionally.

Between 1908 and 1932 (after a temporary experiment in 1884-86), it also offered teachers training courses to adult women.

The subjects were religion, French, German, English, Swedish, history, geography, writing, mathematics, music, drawing and handicrafts.

At the time of the introduction of compulsory elementary schools in Sweden in 1842, it was one of five schools in Sweden to provide academic secondary education to females: the others being Societetsskolan (1786) and Fruntimmersföreningens flickskola (1815) in Gothenburg, Askersunds flickskola (1812) in Askersund and Wallinska skolan (1831) in Stockholm.
