Curriculum

The third part of the curriculum contains examination goals for all national upper secondary school programmes. The fourth and final part contains a description of the mandatory subjects, that is subjects that are part of all programmes.

Student healthcare

Student healthcare has a preventive and health-promoting role. Student healthcare is free and every school has a school nurse and access to a school doctor, school counsellor and school psychologist. When in school, every student is offered at least three health visits, which include general health check-ups. Certain vaccinations are also provided.

Study and career guidance

Every upper secondary school student has a study and career guidance counsellor. Introductory programme - Municipal follow-up, is a programme that contacts and offers educational and vocational guidance to all adolescents who did not apply to upper secondary school, to all adolescents who were not accepted into upper secondary school or to those who interrupted their studies and are younger than 20.

Travel compensation

Upper secondary school students obtain a bus card if the distance between home and school exceeds six kilometres. The bus card is valid for school days between 05:00 am and 07:00 pm. Every school is responsible for the distribution of school bus cards at the beginning of the autumn term.

Accomodationsupplement

In some instances, you may be eligible for a accomodationsupplement, boarding allowance, if you attend a school in another district and cannot travel between school and home every day. Those who attend a municipal school apply via their home municipality. The application, via e-service or application form, is available from any upper secondary school.
