Sct. Jacobi School and Daycare has about 280 pupils from 0th to 10th grade and around 140 engaged staff.

The Solsikken Special Kindergarten is also part of the organization, which altogether covers the special education area in the Municipality of Varde.

We believe that all children have superpowers. Therefore we do not see the child as his/her diagnosis or difficulty, but as a person with unique strengths, resources and development opportunities.

Action creates transformation

Our work is based on a systemic and resource-oriented view of children. We work purposefully with structure, predictability and visual support systems that create overview and security for the children.

We believe that well-being, participation and relationships form the foundation for development. Therefore we work every day to create meaningful learning and development communities where children experience mastery and success.

In collaboration with parents and external partners we create the framework for a good childhood and youth life. Here, adults take responsibility for the challenges and think creatively and solution-oriented.
