It was then moved to Lidingö where it initially provided practical and theoretical continuing education for deaf-mute girls before being converted into a vocational school in the 1930s.

Tysta skolan was founded in 1860 by Jeanette Berglind, an educator who had previously worked at the Institute for the Blind and Deaf-mute at Manillaskolan.

The school's home for deaf-mute children was initially housed in a cramped three-room apartment and kitchen at Norrlandsgatan 33, but moved in 1862 to more suitable accommodations in the Loviseberg ore yard at Stora Gråbergsgatan 25.

[1][2] Thanks to generous donations from patrons including King Charles XV and Queen Lovisa, the school was able to acquire artist Maria Ruckman's [sv] large property at Norrtullsgatan 51–57 (then 25) on the city's rural fringes in 1866.

With the help of the new capital, a plot of land at Floravägen in Lidingö villastad was acquired, where a new school building was built with space for 40 pupils and staff on duty, and the institution moved there in 1912.

In 1918, the theoretical courses included instruction in the native tongue, Christianity, arithmetic, geography and history, health education and drawing.
