History

The first Blågård Seminarium was established in Blaagaard's main building in 1791. It was the first teacher training college in Denmark. Its name was changed to Jonstrup Seminarium when it moved to the former textile factory in Jonstrup outside Copenhagen in 1808.[1]

A new Blaagaard Seminarium was founded by Jeppe Tang in rented rooms in Blågårdsgade in 1759. In 1863, it moved to a new- purpose-built building in the same street.It later moved to new premises in Ravnsborggade and in 1872 to a new site in Emdrup. The school was hit by fire but reopened in 1879. In 1923, it moved ro Hindegade School and in 1933 to Kapelvej School on Kapelvej in Nørrebro where it shared the building with a boys' school. In 1947, Blaagaard Seminarium was opened to women students. Inm 1953, it went from being a private college to a self-owning institution. In 1063, it moved to a new building on Mørkhøj Parkallé (No. 5) in Søborg. In 1984, Blaagaard Seminarium was merged with Statsseminariet på Emdrupborg which had taken over its former premises in Emdrup. In 1992, Blågård Seminarium was merged with Jonstrup Seminarium and in 2008 with Københavns Dag- og Aftenseminarium under the name Blaagaard(JDAS.[2]
