Spyken in Lund

History

The school was founded in 1848 as Realskolan and had a capacity of 15 students. The number of students increased gradually up to 50. In 1869 the school changed its name to Lunds privata elementarskola (Lund private elementary school). In 1898 Johannes Strömberg became principal and during his time, the capacity of the school expanded greatly with new rooms, allowing more than 750 students. In 1968, the school was turned into a public school and changed its name again to Strömbergsgymnasiet after the former principal. The latest name change occurred in 1986, this time to its current name: Spyken. In this year, the school also had an addition of three annexes, the C-, D- and E-houses.

The name

There are different theories of where the name (which is gibberish in Swedish) comes from. One is that a teacher always accidentally called psychology spychology. Another is that it was a nickname for a former principal. It is possible that it is a combination of both. The school was called Spyken for a long time in popular parlance before it became the official name.

Today

Today, roughly 1100 students attend the school, which has 120 employees.

gollark: Indent by -4 spaces!

gollark: Or negative indentation.

gollark: What about 9-dimensional indentation?

gollark: Indent with 9.6+3i spaces.

gollark: I do agree that the borrow checker can be annoying, but at least you're more likely to get an application which works properly than with C(++).Most of the time higher-level languages are probably the answer anyway.
