The story

The boarding school was established in 1908 on the site of the current day school, in the then rather rural area surrounding Bagsværd Sø; it was only later that this part of Northern Zealand was urbanized. The boarding school itself, located right next to Bagsværd Lake, was acquired in 1949 and has since been expanded, both through the construction of new buildings and the appropriation of neighbouring lots.
