Year 10

The beginning of the next step – the secondary education 

Year 10 at Dejbjerglund Efterskole is the beginning of secondary and not end of primary. Year 10 is not only an extra school year, but a conscious choice and an entrance to secondary. And due to this we are not dividing the students into levels but are focusing on the thoughts and wishes for the future of each student.

Three study programs – three areas of interest

At Dejbjerglund Efterskole the students in year 10 are choosing one of three possible study programs. Each program presents its own area of immersion and interest. When the students are together about the same interest it creates strong connections. Working with your interest motivates and the community keeps up the level of learning.

    Professional and study guidance

    All students are offered two conversations during the year to be clarified according to carrier choice and study. We prepare the students to take an independent and realistic choice. Furthermore, we prioritize to introduce the students to their options after year 9 and year 10 and to explain the education system and structure.

    During autumn we have an evening with focus on education. We invite former students to come and tell us about their educational choices.

    In January we have a similar evening for students and their parents. This time we invite different schools to present their school and talk about their options.
