What Rosborg Gymnasium & HF does

Rosborg Gymnasium & HF is a publicly funded Danish upper secondary school (gymnasium) located in Vejle, established in 1973 and inaugurated in January 1976 on the historic site of a 14th-century royal castle. The institution delivers two core educational programs: STX (Studentereksamen), a three-year program with four study directions (Languages, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Arts), and HF (Højere Forberedelseseksamen), a two-year program with four specialized tracks (Sundhed/Health, Pæd/Pedagogy, Start-Up, and Force). The school serves approximately 1,380 students across 51 class units (43 STX + 8 HF) with average home-room class sizes of 26.9, supported by ~139 staff.

The technology stack centers on the Lectio LMS for scheduling, materials, and communication; Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft Office 365 for productivity; specialized subject software (TI-Nspire, GeoGebra, WordMat, ChemSketch, MarvinSketch, Logger Pro, PASCO, MuseScore, InkScape); PaperCut for print management; and maker technologies including 3D printing and laser cutting (RD-Works). A pilot Digital Study Direction integrates artificial intelligence across subjects. Identity and access are managed via MitID.

Revenue is entirely public, derived from per-student taximeter funding from the Danish Ministry of Children and Education (Undervisningsministeriet). Tuition is free; only minor ancillary fees apply (225 kr introductory program fee; 200 kr jubilee day alumni fee). Recruitment flows through the national optagelse.dk portal, supplemented by info evenings, open house events (Åbent Hus), and brobygning (bridge-building) programs for 8th-10th graders. The school maintains partnerships with University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Aarhus University (AU), DTU, Aalborg University, and is a member of the Globale Gymnasier network (2022). The institution is governed by a board chaired by Thyge Havgaard Bjerring and led by Rektor Hanne Hautop.
