Midtjysk Efterskole

At Midtjysk Efterskole we believe that friendship and a sense of community are established through new experiences, trust and open conversation. There are six different lines (specialist subjects). We have our own swimming pool, sports hall, outdoor activities area, athletics track, creative workshop, a large theatre and three music studios.

We take dialogue seriously
At Midtjysk Efterskole we take dialogue seriously. We want to get to know you, and find out what’s happening in your life right now. We also want to talk with your parents about how you can have the best possible stay at Midtjysk.

You will be able to try everything
At Midtjysk, you will get the opportunity to choose, but first after you have tried a bit of everything. Maybe you will find something you didn’t know you liked, and you will experience some things you might have never tried before!

Our subjects
We focus on six specialist subjects: Art, drama/theatre, Nordic outdoor life, music, water sports and sport/physical education.
During the two first months, you will be guided through these six specialist subjects and will be presented with the many different opportunities they include. Afterwards, you will choose one to focus on for the rest of the school year.

Special subjects
Art (re-design, painting, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, textiles)
Drama/Theatre (performance which can be physically and mentally challenging in an expressive, creative way)
Nordic outdoor life (climbing, kayak, overnight trips, team-building, basic outdoor skills)
Music (rock, pop and many other genres, focus instrument, singing, rhythm training, instrumental rotation, concerts, stomp & theory)
Water Sports (swimming, underwater rugby, water polo, Eskimo Roll)
Sport/PE (basic training, leader education, handball, flag football, gymnastics, triathlon)
Every year we have a “special subject week” where the whole week is spent with your specialist subject.

You will improve academically
At Midtjysk Efterskole, you will improve academically in the subjects you are good at, and we will help you improve in those subjects you need help in.
