Sommerschool 2026

HERLUFSHOLM SUMMER SCHOOL

Welcome Herlufsholm Summer School is two weeks filled with learning, fun and exciting experiences set in the historical setting of Herlufsholm Boarding School, founded in the 16th century. Herlufsholm Summer School is designed for young people, age 12-16, from all over the world who want to learn Danish and who reside outside of Denmark with their parents, children living in Denmark as expats or Danish children wanting to improve their English skills. Trine Lohse Røntorp Head of Herlufsholm Summer School

Therefore, the program is for those, who wish to improve their Danish language skills and who want to learn more about Denmark and Danish society and culture, or Danish children wanting to improve their English skills. Every participant has 4 lessons each day, 3 of which focus on Danish/English reading and writing skills according to the level of each individual. We group students based on their current Danish/English knowledge with the aim of creating the optimal framework for learning, self-confidence and improvement of language skills. The participants will be given many opportunities to engage themselves in thrilling and challenging activities while socializing and making new friends with like-minded young people.
