No, you do not have to be. We aim to meet all students with respect - regardless of whether you have a personal Christian faith or not. In fact, most of the students who come to us are not Christians.

For all students, there are 2 hours of "Christian faith" on the timetable every week. Every day after lunch, we have something called "mid-day assembly". Here you receive practical information about the school day, but also a short word for the day. Typically, these words have a Christian content.

Additionally, there are voluntary Christian activities that you can participate in. For example, Tuesday meetings and the student fellowship. Perhaps you want to start a worship team? - Or you can join a Bible study and discussion group.

Every day, there is a staff member responsible for supervision at the school. This person is available to help if a situation arises - and takes rounds around the school premises to ensure everyone is doing well! The supervising teacher stays overnight at the dormitory, and is called "tilsynsvakt".
