Subjects

Read about our subjects in Upper Secondary below.

Chemistry in Upper Secondary is both a practical and theoretical subject. In the subject, we work on linking observations in the laboratory with the theory you also work with in class. The course provides a broad range of chemistry knowledge and a new understanding of the world we live in. In advanced level (A-level), you will thoroughly work with many topics within different chemical areas, and it therefore provides a good basis for choosing a science education afterwards and also prepares you for all higher education’s containing chemistry, e.g. chemistry, chemical engineering, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacy.

Religious Studies is a mandatory, theoretical subject in Upper Secondary. It is taught in S6 and in S7. The subject introduces different faiths, religious pluralism and intercultural societies, multifaith-societies, secularization and religion in the media.

The students will develop their academic competencies when they:

Express themselves in a professional language using relevant terminology
Analyze religious and nonreligious opinions by using an inside and outside perspective
Compare religious traditions by using the seven dimensions to understand religion by theorist Ninian Smart
Study ancient religious texts and practice the appertaining vocabulary
Reflect upon, and discuss, the connection between religion and today’s secularized society – in a European and Global context

Spanish is a L4 subject. It is taught in S4-S5 (A1/basic level) and can be chosen in S6-S7, reaching an A2+ level (elementary towards pre-intermediate). In Spanish we therefore focus on language: How to use it accurately and with a wide range of structures and vocabulary. BUT we also focus on cultural understanding by:

getting to know the Spanish speaking world – a basic understanding of the 21 cultures
implementing an intercultural exchange on different topics (climate, health, social media, music, literature)
creating reflection about communicative resources and learning strategies

Art in Upper Secondary is a practical subject rooted in theory. We work with painting, sculpture, installation and other art forms and you learn to navigate in a world of visual culture. As one of the only secondary schools in Denmark, we offer art at A-level!
