She was the founder and principal of the Mathilda Hall School (Swedish: Mathilda Halls skola: 1857-1938) of Gothenburg.

She was educated at the Societetsskolan and then in the Netherlands. Her ambition with her school was to found a school to provide girls with serious academic education.

Her school remained one of the most fashionable and modern for girls in Gothenburg, known for its many schools for girls, for many decades after her death.
