In theory, Anna Rönström was a conservative anti-feminist and in fact had a conservative view of women's education. She stated that women should be education at home for a life in the home, and that a school for women should be more of a second home rather than a school and raise their students as parents their children rather than to educate them, and that the education of females should be guided by religion: this was in fact typical of the conservative view in the contemporary debate of women's education. In practice, however, the school she created was in fact radical and adjusted to the modern views of equal education of men and women: the school provided its students all the education necessary to prepare for university studies, and unlike many other girls' schools of the same kind, it also provided the same mathematics level as the secondary school for boys, and further more, it did not teach the French language, as schools for females normally did, but rather the German language, which was the language preferred in the secondary school for boys at the time.
