Herlufsholm Skole
Herlufsholm Skole is also one of the best boarding schools in Denmark. It's for people who want a fun educational experience set within a historical context. The school takes pride in being Denmark's oldest boarding school. As a result, it also boasts a wealth of customs that students cannot find anywhere else.
Herlufsholm is for aspirational and inquisitive youth who value education highly and seek the appropriate professional skills for postsecondary education. The educators are dedicated professionals who continuously improve their credentials. The school creates new curricula, encourages introspection, and provides challenges appropriate to students' ability levels.
Students at Herlufsholm range in grade from sixth to third year of high school. The students attend Herlufsholm from all over Denmark, including the surrounding area. Some even travel from overseas to pursue a quality education. Day students and boarders are both present at Herlufsholm Skole, but the school emphasizes a calm environment, high academic standards, and the well-being of its students in relatively small classes.
The boarders reside in small groups in nine student houses with their families and a dormitory teacher. This ensures an intimate, carefree, and simple relationship that builds solid friendships that, for many, last a lifetime.
The students have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the peaceful environment at Susåen (our river) in the woods or the large park on the school grounds because Herlufsholm Skole owns woodland and numerous green spaces.
Students will receive a room at Herlufsholm known as a "hummer" when they move into a house. You can unwind and finish your homework here. Numerous amenities are available within the house, including a shared dormitory, a small kitchen, restrooms, a laundry room, and a day room.
While there are gender-specific dorms, sleeping in a communal space fosters relationships and a positive atmosphere that can't be obtained from sleeping in one's room. Although most students receive a room of their own, some are forced to share with a roommate of the same age. A reading lamp, desk, chair, shelf, and locker are all in the room. To make the room cozier, boarders are permitted to bring additional items into it.
The school day at the boarding school begins at seven in the morning. The dining halls serve breakfast to boarders, and the first class begins at 8:05 a.m. They will be offered fruit or buns at some point in the morning, and they will eat lunch with the class before academic lessons end and they head back home.
Boarding students can select from a range of activities provided by the school in the afternoon and evening. In addition to hanging out with their friends and doing their homework, students will be provided with an afternoon snack and dinner in the evening.
All students at Herlufsholm Skole are expected to stay in their rooms during the two study periods. Students can focus on their homework without being distracted by thoughts of their friends' more enjoyable activities thanks to the set study periods.
Every boarder is required to participate in at least one activity per week. The extracurricular program offers activities to suit all interests, and boarding students who enjoy organizing events can join our extracurricular team to help with weekend planning and the introduction of new events.
