This gymnasium (upper secondary school) in central Aarhus is a traditional school built around the theme of putting learning at the centre. Its values are academic depth, democracy, an inclusive community, a creative environment and outward-facing activities. According to the school's own account, its origins go back to 1195 and the decision to build the cathedral next door, and school and church are still neighbours.
The school holds five language days, Fem Fede Sprogdage, in week 39, and a science day for primary school pupils. Each year there are two information meetings for prospective pupils, parents and teachers. Students and staff can take a sabbatical year.
