Campus Vejle - Denmark

Situated centrally on the mainland of Jutland, Campus Vejle - www.campusvejle.dk - is with 2400 full time students one of the biggest college/gymnasium-level schools in its area. Containing an extensive line of secondary levels of education, this institution tries to meet the needs of most students from 16 years and onwards. Key words from the schools strategy are recognition, tolerance, inclusiveness and innovation, showing that the school tries to offer studies as broadly as possible. Thus the student profile is quite varied, and a most important focus is retention. Hence Campus Vejle has taken the initiative to this project.

A recent college inspection awarded the college excellent for its overall performance, however teaching and learning was proved to be "good" rahter than "excellent".
