Tuition fees by programme and year group (per year / per term)

- Day programmes (STX, HF, HHX, EUX, EUD, IB, 10. klasse): there is no annual tuition charged to students enrolled on the school's regular upper‑secondary programmes; education is publicly funded. Ancillary charges may apply for certain optional activities or services (see “Other costs” below).

The annual boarding price is adjusted each year with effect from August.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Boarding invoices are issued in Danish kroner (DKK) and the boarding fee is billed monthly in 10 instalments covering August through May.

There is a two‑month notice period for termination of boarding; the month of notice plus the following two months remain payable. Non‑payment can lead to exclusion from the boarding school. Fees are regulated annually effective from August.

Boarding fees (what they cover and special rules)

- The stated boarding fee covers the student's residence at the kostskole (including meals and supervision as provided by the boarding operation). Students over 18 may be eligible for Danish state educational grants at the higher (out‑of‑home) rate if they meet the requirements. For students under 18 the final boarding amount depends on parental income as described above.

- Exam / participant fees for external (self‑study) candidates: as regulated, the school collects participation fees for external examination candidates. The amount is DKK 550 per subject for the subjects enumerated in the relevant regulation and DKK 1,400 for other subjects; the school refunds participant fees to external candidates who are subsequently issued a certificate for a complete studentereksamen.

- Textbooks and book depot: borrowing school books from the school's book depot is free; lost or missing books must be replaced at the student's expense.

- Study trips and excursions: study trips and other out‑of‑school activities may carry participant fees. The school follows the statutory rules on participant payments for excursions and study trips; mandatory participation cannot be required for costs that exceed the statutory daily limits that apply. Specific trip charges are billed on an activity basis and state the due date and payment instructions.

- Canteen / meals for day students and other incidental purchases: food services (FoodCamp / canteen) and similar on‑site purchases are charged separately to individual students and are not included in the standard programme fees.

Refund information

- Boarding registration fee (DKK 2,500) is non‑refundable if the student declines the offered place or when the student moves out.

Fee payment options and how invoices are handled

- Event‑ or activity‑specific payments (for example 10. klasse events) are handled through the school's online payment procedures that use the national authentication system (MitID) for the pupil's payment/consent flows where applicable.

There are two departments: STX/HF/HHX subjects (with syllabi and guidance linked) and Electives. STX is a three-year general upper secondary program that prepares you for higher education, with a foundation course and a study-direction path, offering Danish, English, mathematics, social studies, two foreign languages, and an artistic and a natur­al science foundation, followed by chosen study directions and a range of A-, B- and C-level electives. HF is a two-year program with six available fagpakker (subject packages) and a pathway to many short and medium-length higher education programs, complemented by practical and project work. IB Diploma Programme is offered with six subjects (three at higher level and three at standard level) and core elements Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, and Creativity, Activity, Service, with flexible subject choices and the possibility of seven subjects in some cases with approval. EUX provides a two-year grundforløb followed by a two-year apprenticeship, with three tracks EUX Detail, EUX Handel, and EUX Kontor; EUD offers three vocational tracks (Detail, Handel, Event) with a two-year grundforløb and a main-praktik (work placement). 10th grade is available with three lines, and Kostskolen (boarding school) provides a home-away-from-home experience.

Higher Education Progression
STX is described as a three-year program that prepares students for higher education. HF leads to a broad range of short and medium-length higher education programs, with study guidance. The IB Diploma Programme is designed to meet tertiary education entrance requirements, with subject choices aligned to plans for university study and core components (EE, TOK, CAS). The IB program emphasizes an international study environment, with students from many countries.
