On Tuesday, January 28, from 9:45 a.m. to 11:20 a.m., we will be holding our annual Alumni Event, where former BG Graduates will come by and talk about their sabbatical, education and working life after BG.

The mood was high when the students met at the SAS planes at the airport. Most were quick to check in and drop off their luggage, and in no time we were on our way down to the warmth and some very special experiences.

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.!

Each speaker, with their own perspective on the upcoming election, explained and clarified important concepts and key points of the American election campaign.

The past five days have looked a little different for all BG's 2nd-year students. Divided into groups, they stepped out of the familiar four walls of the classroom and instead took over the school's F-area, armed with paper, scissors, markers, and countless new, exciting ideas about how they can make the world a better place for everyone.

Sex is one of the most natural things about being human, but at the same time one of the hardest things to talk about.

At BG, we have many students interested in sports. Some are part of the Team Denmark scheme, others are part of our elite sports program and benefit from our many offers. For many of our students, it is important to have a daily life in which there is a balance between sport and school. 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.

This does not only apply to our 2nd graders, who are entering the last week of Projekt Läselyst. And we are lucky enough to work closely with the librarians at Birkerød Library.

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....?
