Norra Latin, Educational building in Stockholm, Sweden

Norra Latin is a Neo-Renaissance school building at 71b Drottninggatan, designed by Helgo Zettervall and opened in 1880. Its plan uses two glazed three-storey courtyards with round-arched arcades, and the whole composition resembles a doubled Florentine Renaissance palace. The large two-storey gymnasium and the auditorium above it sit on the central axis.

The school opened in 1880 as Högre latinläroverket å Norrmalm, merging Klara allmänna läroverk and Stockholms gymnasium's Riddarholmen division. It was renamed in 1939 for boys at Norrmalm, admitted girls from 1961, and became Norra Latins gymnasium in 1967. The school closed in 1982 after 102 years; the building was sold to the Swedish Trade Union Confederation and reopened as a conference centre in 1989. Stockholm International School moved in during August 2023.

The building expresses 19th-century Swedish educational ideals through its grand design inspired by Italian palace architecture. This choice reflected how schools were meant to inspire and elevate students through their physical surroundings.

The building sits in central Stockholm and is easily reached on foot with clear signage for navigation. It operates as a school with some public spaces, so visitors should verify access in advance.

After the school closed in 1982, the premises housed the newly founded Tensta gymnasium for two years under the name "Tensta gymnasium i Norra Latin" until its own building in Tensta was ready. From autumn 2023 Stockholm International School moved back in.
