About us

Højvangskolen is located in Stavtrup, a well-functioning and expanding local area in the southern part of Aarhus. The school is growing and currently has a little over 800 students, 380 children in the SFO and about 90 staff members. The school receives multilingual pupils from other school districts and has 12% multilingual students. We have an engaged parent community and good cooperation with local institutions and associations, as well as volunteer school ambassadors and uncles.

We are a school that finds great meaning and coherence in the Folkeskole’s purpose clause. We believe that:

§ 1. The Folkeskole, in cooperation with the parents, shall provide pupils with knowledge and skills that: prepare them for further education and give them a desire to learn more, familiarize them with Danish culture and history, give them understanding of other countries and cultures, contribute to their understanding of humans’ interaction with nature, and promote the individual pupil’s versatile development.

Stk. 2. The Folkeskole shall develop working methods and create frameworks for experience, immersion and enterprise, so that pupils develop insight and imagination and gain confidence in their own possibilities and grounds for making decisions and acting.

Stk. 3. The Folkeskole shall prepare pupils for participation, co-responsibility, rights and duties in a society with freedom and democracy. The school’s activities shall thus be characterized by freedom of thought, equality and democracy.
