Lundby Efterskole

Lundby Efterskole is a Grundtvig-Koldian school that prioritizes community, personal development, and the transition from student to young adult. The school focuses on fostering tolerance, responsibility, and maturity through a binding social environment. It aims to prepare students for further education by balancing academic, physical, and mental challenges.

The school offers 10th-grade education with mandatory subjects in Danish, mathematics, and English, while German and physics/chemistry are available as electives. Students sit for the 10th-grade examinations and have the option to take the Cambridge English exam. Six specialized lines are available for student focus: Theater, Horse/Equestrian, Sport, Music, eSport, and Art and Expression.

Extra support is available for students who require assistance in core academic subjects such as Danish, mathematics, and English. Students with autism spectrum diagnoses are requested to disclose this during the application process to arrange a personal interview prior to admission.

Prospective students must visit the school and attend an information meeting before applying. Applications are submitted online via MitID, and all applicants are initially placed on a waiting list. Approximately two years before the start of the school year, students are admitted following a clarification interview. The school does not recommend its environment for students with eating disorders, school refusal, anxiety, depression, or those who have not completed 9th grade.

The school year lasts 42 weeks. Fees are paid in installments, with the first rate due on July 1st and the final rate on April 1st. The school year includes a one-week study trip abroad in the spring, which is included in the tuition fees.

Located on a 24-acre property with its own forest, the campus features a sports hall, a teatersal (theater hall) with stage, sound and light equipment, and a music room. Equestrian facilities include a large riding hall with international dimensions, outdoor riding arenas, and stables. The campus also provides a media room, creative workshops, a parkour course, a beach volleyball court, a football field, and a shelter area with a campfire site.

Students can participate in a variety of co-curricular activities, including Cambridge English, hunting license courses, and an annual musical. Additional elective options include parkour, archery, football, American football, running training, and Zumba. The school also emphasizes communal responsibilities, such as kitchen duties and cleaning, as part of the daily school life.
