Berzeliusskolan

Berzeliusskolan (most often called "Berzan") is a primary and secondary school (secondary above all), in Linköping, Sweden. The school is run by Linköping Municipality.

Berzeliusskolan was founded as a primary school in 1953 under the name of "Vasaskolan". When the school also enjoyed a visit from King Gustav VI Adolf. "Vasaskolan" was shut down in 1965 and reopened two years later as an institution of higher learning (high school/secondary school). Since 1997 "Berzeliusskolan" once again holds classes for 1,500 students in grade 7–9 in addition to the students in secondary school.

The school is named after Jöns Jacob Berzelius, one of the fathers of modern chemistry. Berzelius was, perhaps ironically, a student at Berzeliusskolan's neighbour and rival, Katedralskolan. It should be noted, however, that Katedralskolan was the only secondary school in Linköping at that time.
