About the project
High School
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our local partner works with many different kindergartens, schools, after school activity centres, youth clubs, ”efterskoler”, and high schools all over Denmark.
When young, Danish people have completed 9th or 10th grade, they usually choose a youth education. Attending a high school is one of the youth educations. The students can attend a three year course or a two year course. The high schools have mandatory classes all students need to attend, at least at a minimum level, such as Danish, maths, English, physical education, at least one science class and at least one other language class. Other classes are also available depending on the student’s choices as well as advanced classes for previously completed classes. Danish high schools are also very social places with various parties for the students throughout the year. The high schools in Denmark sees it as a very unique opportunity to have a native English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, or Japanese volunteers among their staff to teach Danish youth.
💼 What the programme involves
The purpose of the Danish high schools, “Gymnasium”, is to teach the students within the subjects of sciences, humanities, and society studies. The students have various subjects and electives. Trained teachers, each with their own main subjects, teach the students throughout the day.
If you speak a language taught at the high school, you may have the opportunity to teach a class or support the teacher in the class. You may also be asked to assist in the English lessons, even if you are not a native speaker of English. Another relevant class you can support will be physical education. Additional tasks will be given depending on the school’s needs.
