==Education==
Skagen's first school was the ''Latinskole'', a grammar school, which was in operation from 1549 until 1739. By the end of the 19th century, three schools had been established in Skagen: one in Vesterby, another in Østerby and a third in Højen. As a result of evolving legislation, a new public primary school (''Borgerskolen'') designed by A. Haunstrup was completed in 1901. A gymnasium was added in 1909 but in 1924 it was converted into classrooms to accommodate the growing number of pupils. A secondary school (''Realskolen'') was opened in 1904 behind the former local authority building on Sct. Laurentii vej. The secondary school was later moved next to the primary school and in 1948 the buildings were extended. An additional two-storey wing was completed in 1969.<ref>[http://skagensiden.dk/asp/page.asp?id=216 "Kappelborg Skolen – Borgerskole"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103115155/http://skagensiden.dk/asp/page.asp?id=216 |date=3 November 2013 }}, Skagensiden. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 2 November 2013.</ref>

In 1921, Skagen's Skipper School was opened to train navigators for both fishing boats and merchant ships. It is now the only remaining skipper school in Denmark with some 100 students from the whole of Scandinavia and 15 staff. In 2012, the school moved into new premises close to the Kattegat.<ref>[https://www.martec.dk/om-os/kontakt/find-vej/ "Skagen Skipperskole"]. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 2 November 2013.</ref> In 1955, the folkschool ''Ankermedets skole'' was opened on Skagavej, initially with 483 pupils and 16 classes. It has been extended several times over the years, most recently when a new wing was added in 2003.<ref>[http://skagensiden.dk/asp/page.asp?id=472 "Ankermedets skole"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103120135/http://skagensiden.dk/asp/page.asp?id=472 |date=3 November 2013 }}, Skagensiden. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 2 November 2013.</ref> The private school ''Brovandeskolen'', a so-called free school, opened in 1977 for parents wishing to offer their children a new pedagogical approach. A primary goal is active cooperation between pupils, teachers and parents.<ref>[http://www.brovandeskolen.skoleintra.dk/Infoweb/Designskabelon8/Rammeside.asp?Action=&Side=&Klasse=&Id=&Startside=&ForumID= "Skolens historie"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130316061959/http://www.brovandeskolen.skoleintra.dk/Infoweb/Designskabelon8/Rammeside.asp?Action=&Side=&Klasse=&Id=&Startside=&ForumID= |date=16 March 2013 }}, Brovandeskolen. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 2 November 2013.</ref>
