Danish efterskole for international students
An efterskole is a boarding school where the students live for one or two years. All efterskoler are founded on three core ideas.
Livsoplysning – The idea, that all people have more in common that we think. Ongoing curiosity and willingness to explore the things in life that all human beings have in common.
Folkeoplysning – The idea, that all people have the right to know their history and cultural context.
Demokratisk dannelse – The idea, that all people should be educated in how to build, uphold, and participate in a strong democratic society.
Our efterskole is furthermore founded on the joy of classical music. If you want to combine your studies with music, friends, and a strong community – OrkesterEfterskolen is the school for you.
