Hvitfeldtska gymnasiet, the "Hvitfeldtska High School", is in central Gothenburg, Sweden. The school was founded in 1647 by Queen Christina and is the largest in Gothenburg. It was originally called "Göteborgs gymnasium" and later known as "Göteborgs högre latinläroverk" before being named after its benefactress, the Norwegian-Swedish noblewoman Margareta Hvitfeldt, who left the larger part of her estate to the school.
The school is attended by students aged 15–19 coming from all over Gothenburg, and occasionally from other Swedish regions. International student enrollment is small but significant.
The school runs a variety of student clubs. It serves as one of the limited number of exam centres in Sweden for the SAT, ACT, and Oxbridge admission tests. Annually, some Hvitfeldtska students get accepted to top summer schools and universities worldwide, and represent Sweden in international competitions.
Hvitfeldtska gymnasiet is known for the events that occurred there during the Gothenburg riots of the EU summit of 2001. This did not involve the staff or the students as such, since, in the summer holidays, the school buildings were used for housing the participants of a youth convent.
The school is divided into two buildings: the northern, the southern. The school library is in the southern building.
