Kolding Gymnasium[4] is a Danish senior secondary school (gymnasium), which, aside from the standard gymnasium courses, also offers the Higher Preparatory Examination (known in Danish as the Højere Forberedelseseksamen or HF) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.[5]
History
Kolding Gymnasium was founded in 1542 by Dorothea of Brandenburg, Queen of Denmark,[6] and relocated to new buildings in 1975, where it remains today. The school adopted the IBDP as one of its main types of education in 2002. In 2006 the school suffered extensive water damage, forcing some students to stay home for a week and take lessons during the Danish winter vacation in order to reach the required number of lessons before the academic year-end.[6]
Since then, the school has had much ongoing repair; a new auditorium has been built, the façade of the school has been renovated, and a new knowledge centre has been built to house the school library.[6]
