Det frie Gymnasium

Det frie Gymnasium is a private educational institution in Copenhagen's Nørrebro district, operating two school locations and teaching students between 14 and 30 years old. The main campus at Struenseegade 50 and the primary school at Møllegade 26 serve different age groups with various academic programs.

The school was founded in 1970 and has developed into an established educational institution in the city. The Danish government funds the majority of its operating costs, while student tuition covers only a smaller portion.

The school has designated graffiti walls where students express their creativity through street art in specific areas of campus. This space for artistic expression is part of everyday life at the institution.

Classes run until around 3:30 in the afternoon on most days, with earlier dismissal around 1:55 on certain days. Both locations in different neighborhoods are easily accessible and offer classrooms and learning areas for their respective student groups.

Students participate in weekly school meetings and sit on committees where they have actual input on decisions like hiring teaching staff. This form of student participation gives them a real voice in important school matters.
