Herlufsholm is an extraordinary school

The first time you visit Herlufsholm you will discover a special atmosphere. The historical spirit, the old buildings and the beautiful green area create a unique framework for education and life as a boarder. A community will embrace you that makes your life as a student exciting, fun and at times challenging, and which will open doors for you when you leave us sometimes in the future.

Herlufsholm is for those who want an exciting school time in a historical framework. The school was founded in 1565 and is proud to be the oldest boarding school in Denmark. Therefore we also have so many traditions that you cannot experience elsewhere, among them:

• Festive balls, plays and ceremonies
• A dress code that unifies but also gives room for a personal touch
• The special Herlufsholm jargon that is used by students every day
