History
The school traces its roots to "Kungsholmens Allmänna Läroverk" which began in 1902 in private accommodations on S:t Eriksgatan (St. Erik's Street), but moved into a new building on Hantverkargatan in 1907. The school has remained in that building ever since. In 1984, Stockholms Musikgymnasium (Stockholm Music School) moved into the same building and maintains a level of autonomy as a separate section of the school but within the same building. In 1987, the International Section moved out of Norra Real, another upper-secondary school in Stockholm, and joined Kungsholmens Gymnasium.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
