Limfjordsskolen is a boarding school for young disabled people between 17 and 20 years of age. The school offers a specially designed 3 year education based on the students individual competences and challenges. The school operates under the law commonly known as STU. The special planned youth education is given to all young people who cannot complete a normal youth education even with extra assistance and adapted curriculum. The young people who all have severe learning difficulties stays at the school for up till 3 years and come from all over the Northern part of Denmark. The main purpose of the school is to equip and strengthen the students in becoming as independent and active in their own life as possible, and in spite of their handicap be an active citizen in the local community. The teaching takes place at both the school facilities and at the residential groups where all the domestic skills are trained. We have a very practical approach in our teaching and the students get a first hand impression of the different themes. We go out into real life and explore the actual settings mentioned in the curriculums using our 4 mini busses and cars. In addition to the basic curriculum the student can choose from different areas of interest; Nature, sport and health, art, music. Every year the students go on different trips and as we are very international in our approach some of the trips go to other countries. We have been to many European countries over the yeas.
