What Falkonergården Gymnasium does

Falkonergården Gymnasium er et offentligt dansk gymnasium (upper secondary school) beliggende på Sønderjyllands Allé 25 i Frederiksberg, København. Skolen blev etableret i 1918/19 som Danmarks første statsgymnasium for piger og drives i dag af Frederiksberg Kommune under Undervisningsministeriet. Skolen tilbyder STX (3-årig og 4-årig) samt et 3-årigt HF-forløb og betjener ca. 1.000 elever med ca. 90 lærere og administrativt personale. Dens centrale differentiator er Team Danmark-ordningen, der siden 1991 har gjort det muligt for ca. 450 eliteatleter fordelt på 38 sportsgrene at kombinere konkurrencesport med gymnasial uddannelse via fleksible skemaer, TD-vejledere og TD-studieretninger.

Kerneprodukterne er STX-programmet og HF-programmet, leveret gennem standard uddannelsesteknologi: Lectio (LMS), Google Workspace for Education, Unilogin (national single sign-on), skoleomfattende WiFi og smartboards. Supplerende tilbud omfatter FalkoScience, Masterclass 2025-26, Falko Dagsværk (community service day) og et bredt udvalg af studieretninger inden for naturvidenskab, samfundsfag, sprog og kunst. Skolen modtager statslig finansiering via taxameterordningen samt tilskud fra Frederiksberg Kommune, med mindre deltagerbetalinger for ekskursioner og aktiviteter. Særskilte partnerskaber med Frederiksberg Idræts Union (FIU) og Det Kongelige Teater (balletskole) udgør adgangskanaler for eliteatleter og balletelever.

Forretningsmodellen er offentligt finansieret uden aktionærer eller eksterne investorer. Eleven rekrutteres gennem det nationale optagelsessystem (optagelse.dk), orienteringsaftener, besøgsdage, FIU-sportsporadgang og direkte partnerskaber med Team Danmark og Det Kongelige Teater. Skolens daglige drift ledes af rektor Marianne Munch Svendsen under en bestyrelse med repræsentation fra kommunalbestyrelsen, erhvervslivet, medarbejdere og elever. Skolen har ingen SaaS- eller forbrugerproduktkomponent og opererer udelukkende som en offentlig uddannelsesinstitution med regionalt optageområde i Region Hovedstaden.
