Welcome to Strandskolen!

Strandskolen is a primary school situated in Karlslunde, municipal of Greve, 25 km south of Copenhagen. We teach children from the age of five to 16, spanning from 0th grade (kindergarten) to 9th grade.

The pupils here live in a socially resourceful area. Parents here are generally well educated and there are few immigrants living here.

In Strandskolen all the teachers and pupils have iPads, that are handed out by the municipal. All classrooms have smart boards and everything is hooked up to the school's wifi. This is part of a political agreement, aiming to ready the pupils for the digital world of technology.

Situated close to the sea, Strandskolen offers a broad specter of nature - we even have a fort from WW1 right in the neighborhood!

This is our main entrance

And this is the fort!

Tourism day Danmark

Learning about tourism

60 students spent an entire day working with all aspects of tourism.

In cooperation with the municipality of Greve’s tourism board and a museum professor, Strandskolens teachers and students had an awesome day with lots of exiting activities and learning.

We learned about tourists and tourism on a general level. Where Danes go on holiday, what they like to do and see in Denmark and in other countries. We also learned where tourist that visits Denmark come from and what they like to see and do.

A highlight of the day was participating in a city tour in our own region. We actually saw and learned many things we did not know existed. Even our tourism board learned new things from our students, about what attractions kids and families appreciate locally.

Students were introduced to the business side of tourism, which was a completely new aspect for them.

At the end of the day, the students spent time using their entrepreneurship skills to develop new ideas and activities locally.

All in all an eventful day, with lots of learning activities and happy faces ;)

These pictures show how our pupils who are currently in the 6th grade learn about tourism from the local tourism agency.
