The Wallinska skolan, the first secondary education school for girls in the Swedish capital of Stockholm, is founded in 1831 by the historian Anders Fryxell upon suggestion by the bishop and writer Johan Olof Wallin.

The school is founded out of intellectual discontent over the contemporary shallow education of females in the contemporary finishing schools, such as Bjurströmska pensionen.

Wallin convinces Fryxell that girls should be educated "with higher ambitions than to learn to speak French and play the klavér", because also women have the right to serious studies, and that it will surely prove to be needed in the future.
