Efterskoler – Danish boarding schools

Lemvig Municipality has no fewer than five efterskoler.

An efterskole is a special type of Danish boarding school, usually for young people aged 14–17.

A year at an efterskole is a unique experience. It's a chance to discover who you are, make new friends and become part of a close community.

Young people can choose between different schools, each with its own subjects, values and activities.

Surrounded by nature and close to the coast, towns and countryside, students build friendships and create memories that last a lifetime.

It's all worth it.
