Sankt Petri Schule is a member of the German Schools Abroad Network DAS.

A Sankt Petri Girls' School was founded by Balthasar Münter (father of the salonist Friederike Brun) in the second half of the 18th century.

Petri kirkes, Thymes og P.s plejestiftelse, a home for elderly indigent, German expatriates.

It had been established in the beginning of the 19th century through a merger of three independent institutions: Thymes Stiftelse ('Thyme's Foundation'), founded by Winand Thyme in 1775; Pelts Stiftelse ('Pelt's Foundation'), founded by Abraham Pelt in 1779; and a third one operated by the church.

In 1997, the building was sold to the school, which needed more space for its increasing number of students.
