Anna Sandströms högre lärarinneseminarium

The Anna Sandströms högre lärarinneseminarium stands in a building on Karlavägen, constructed in 1908 to accommodate 450 students and 100 seminar participants.

Founded in 1900 by education reformer Anna Sandström, the seminary introduced new teaching methods and emphasized direct engagement with source materials through its motto Ad fontes.

The institution transformed Swedish education by preparing female teachers with courses in psychology, pedagogy, methodology, and practical classroom experience.

The seminary building contains lecture halls, study rooms, and educational facilities designed specifically for teacher training and professional development programs.

Nearly 500 women graduated as certified teachers from this institution, marking a substantial advancement in female education during early 20th century Sweden.
