Tidbit: From Wikipedia:

A number of firsts in Finnish education have taken place in Jyväskylä:

  • The first Finnish-speaking Lyceum (High School) (1858)
  • The first Finnish-speaking teacher training college (1863)
  • The first Finnish-speaking school for girls (1864)
  • Finland's first Summer University (1914)
Due to this, among other things, the city earned the nickname Athens of Finland.
