Ahlberg School, exterior

Edmund Ahlberg Elementary School is an elementary school in the city of Trolberg. This is the school that Hilda, David, and Frida attend in season 1 and season 2.

The school is named after its founder, Edmund Ahlberg, who based his school on the values of structure, discipline and treating all students equally. The school offers students opportunities to participate in activities outside the curriculum, like science fairs or running for class president.

History

The school was founded 300 years prior to the events from the series by Edmund Ahlberg, nicknamed the Trollslayer. His vision was to create a school based on the proven values of structure, discipline, and treating every student exactly the same.

Over time, the school greatly expanded from the small wooden building it started with, to the building used in the show.

School uniform

Frida, Hilda, and David in three variations of the school uniform (trousers, skirt + leggings, shorts)

The Ahlberg School requires all students to wear school uniforms.

The uniform consists of:

• A dirty-yellow colored sweater, with a white insignia on the left chest.
• A white shirt with a collar, worn underneath the sweater (thus with only the collar visible)
• A red necktie worn underneath this sweater
• Either black trousers, black shorts, or a grey skirt with black leggings.

Class president

Every year, a student of the school can be elected class president. The election is proceeded by a campaign.

In "Chapter 9: The Ghost", Frida tries to run for president, with Hilda as her campaign manager, but ultimately drops out of the race.

What role the class president fulfills once elected is currently unknown.
