Introduction
to Mariagerfjord Gymnasium
Mariagerfjord
Gymnasium is a progressive 6th form college with 70 teachers and
approximately 500 students. In a stimulating environment and a relaxing
atmosphere, our school prepares the students for university and similar
institutions of higher education with due regard to each student’s
individual talents.
Mariagerfjord
Gymnasium
provides two programmes of Upper Secondary Education
·
a three-year programme leading to the Upper Secondary School Leaving
Examination (Studentereksamen - STX)
·
and a two-year
programme
leading to the Higher Preparatory Examination (Højere
Forberedelseseksamen - HF)
The
programmes
emphasize a broad theoretical education of high academic standard and
offer a wide variety of subjects: Danish, English, German, French, Spanish,
Russian, Latin, Ancient and Modern History, Religious Studies, Philosophy,
Psychology, Economics, Social Studies, Geography, Biology, Mathematics,
Physics, Chemistry, Computing, Music, Art, Design and Physical Education.
And in addition, the extracurricular activities: Music, Art and Sports.
Throughout
the school year there are a wide range of activities for both students and
teachers such as pedagogical seminars, the students’ drama production,
the annual school dance, the graduation party, and of course the extensive
unofficial social activities organised by the students themselves. The
teachers are encouraged to constantly improve their pedagogical and
professional skills by attending a large variety of in-service training
programmes. About once a month all the teachers participate in a staff
meeting to discuss the practical, administrative and pedagogical matters
of the school. The democratic rights of the students are guaranteed by the
students’ council.
It
is of great importance to Mariagerfjord Gymnasium that we achieve our
ultimate educational goal: that our students acquire substantial academic
training and develop human abilities which enable them to become
full-scale members of our democratic society.
