Founding of Den højere Dannelsesanstalt for Damer
- When
- 1846
- Where
- Copenhagen, Denmark
Annestine Beyer and Emil Bojsen founded the first secondary educational institution for women in Denmark in 1846 to address the lack of formal training for female teachers.
The school was established to solve the problem that most private schools in Copenhagen were managed by women who could not pass new regulations due to the absence of secondary schools for women. It initially shared its localities with the Døtreskolen af 1791, which had served as an informal training school for women.
