The school taught girls scientific subjects on the pattern of boys' schools, becoming one of the first Danish schools to give females secondary education.
Students at Døtreskolen were given education in scientific subjects after the pattern of boys' schools, which made it a pioneer institution. It is considered one of the first schools in Denmark to give secondary education to females. Until the 1840s, when many secondary girls' schools were founded in Denmark, only three schools in Copenhagen provided secondary education to females, of which this was the oldest.
