French/Danish Secondary 1

Secondary 1 corresponds to the Danish 6th grade. The new secondary 1 class will be a combined French/Danish class, which means students can choose either French as mother tongue or Danish as mother tongue (L1). The students who have French as mother tongue (also known as L1) can choose between English or German as L2 (first foreign language) and Danish, German or English as L3 (second foreign langauge). The students who have Danish as L1 can choose between English, German or French as L2 and L3.  All other subjects will be taught in Danish.
