The Boarding School

Experiences and education for life

Going to a boarding school is a big decision and you will never quite be the same again after such a stay. It is a challenge, where your entire foundation is put to the test. You will get to know other norms, customs and values as you live together with 77 other boarders coming from different environments and cultures to your own. You are a part of a community that is the core to boarding school life.

As a boarder you will reside, eat, work, socialise, laugh, cry and live together in the community where you share your experiences and share the same goal, to obtain a Gymnasium, HF, or IB-diploma qualification. You must be able to manage your time and talents well to find a good balance in your daily day, and the relationship between staff and students is highly based on mutual trust. We all want the best for each other. We look forward to welcoming you to the community at Birkerød Gymnasium's Boarding School.

The Boarding School is situated together with the rest of the school in one of North Zealand's most beautiful areas - yet only a 30 minute ride away from the centre of Copenhagen on the S-train.

The boarding school has a cinema, study room, theater hall, fitness, a club house with all kinds of activtity rooms and a gym, there is always life at the school. We look forward to you becoming part of the community!

At the boarding school there is a very close relationship - we are like a family. And then there is a special and safe relationship with the boarding school teachers, who are really good at being there for us if, for example, you miss your family.
