"BG had a fantastic sports day, where all students, teachers, and staff participated in eight different sports in the lovely sunny weather

Lots of reunions, squeals, hugs and High Fives mixed with a good portion of excited and nervous smiles here and there are what characterized Birkerød Gymnasium, STX, HF, IB and boarding school during the first week of the school year.

And so, the day arrived. Friday, June 27th, 2025, was all about youth, and it is with both heartfelt joy and a touch of sadness that we once again celebrated all of BG’s graduates – all 388 of them! – in Birkerød Multi Hall.

The day after a festive graduation party and the final exams, there was a strong need for some relaxation – and that’s exactly what the restaurant, cultural venue, and concert hall Mantziusgården offered BG’s many graduates on Wednesday, June 25, the day before the big graduation ceremony.

Finally it was time to put on the fabled graduate hat! The hallways are trembling with nervousness and excitement these days. Now we have reached the final exams, and things are busy at Birkerød Gymnasium.

The last week at BG is not just a sentence that describes the end of the year. It is a period filled with hard work, nervousness, events and traditions. During the last week, we celebrate the culmination of several years of hard work on both a human and professional level, for both students and teachers! IN THE LAST WEEK, we also say goodbye,to students and teachers.

Congratulations to all this year’s 134 IB graduates! The IB hat ceremony featured a farewell speech dedicated to the class of 2025 by IB coordinator Christina Rye Tarp and wise words from Principal Claus Campeotto, who emphasized that although the world has changed dramatically, we must all remember what we each can do to bring about positive change.

The purpose of a study trip must be to broaden the students' horizons. This can easily happen close to us. Hamburg is not at the top of the wish list for many students, and a bit of skepticism was evident among the students in 2.Y to begin with.

When you type “Kiruna” into the search box on Google and look at the pictures of the city that pop up, you don’t exactly think that it should be your next travel destination. Yes, you probably wonder how an industrialized, freezing, slushy mining town in northern Sweden can be interesting in any way.

Birkerød Gymnasium has been the main driving force in organizing the Danish Physics Olympiad since many years. Some of the school's current and former physics teachers create the tasks that high school students from all over Denmark must solve to qualify in an elimination race.

What does democracy mean for young people in a society where monarchy and popular rule coexist? In Morocco, where since 2011, following the Arab Spring, there has been increased focus on citizen involvement and rights through reforms, many young people experience democracy not just as a political system – but as a way of life.

Once a year, BG’s samlingssal turns into a buzzing art gallery as the 3u Visual Arts students prepare for their final exams, where they are required to exhibit and present their work.

When we reached the end of February and received an email about the opening of applications for the Coffee Ball Class of 2025, 3.k quickly agreed that the task was right up our alley. Our high school years have been characterized by great involvement in the school's many committees, and responsibility has never been a burden - on the contrary.

What does it take to write an excellent speech? Ask Carl Louis from 1i! He, along with the rest of his classmates, has spent the last few weeks learning about speechwriting, famous speeches and rhetorics in Danish class.

To Carl Louis’ big surprise, his speech was chosen as one of the 20 best (out of 800!) speeches from young people all over Denmark.

It is so important to get off to a good start in a new class, because it is important that all students have three good years at Birkerød Gymnasium. That is why the intro trip at BG is placed immediately after the start of the study program in November, so that the new and remaining classes can quickly get to know each other really well. Here, all students are sent on a social three-day trip to Berlin with team building, academic experiences and socializing.

A HUGE thank you to all of BG’s hard-working 2u students, who spent all morning preparing for this year’s incredible Global Culture Fair! Today the rest of BG’s students and all the teachers were treated to a true international celebration.!

The past five days have looked a little different for all BG's 2nd-year students.

Undervisningen i almen sprogforståelse (AP) kan tage form af kedelige, løsrevne grammatiske rutineøvelser, eller den kan åbne op for helt nye verdener og stor faglig indsigt.

We want to strengthen this focus on sports even more from the school year 2024/2025 by creating a class where all students have sports at B level.

Hvorfor er AP så vigtigt? Undervisningen i grammatik huskes af mange som kedelig, angstfremkaldende, foruroligende, forbundet med nederlag eller simpelthen ren og skær glæde. Undervisningen i sprogforståelse kan tage form af kedelige, løsrevne grammatiske rutineøvelser. Men IKKE på BG, der åbner AP op for helt nye verdener og faglig indsigt – hvis du vil....?
