The Board has the overall management of the school. Together with the school principal, they are responsible to the Ministry of Education regarding finances and operations. The day-to-day management is handled by the school principal.
It is the board that is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the teaching is commensurate with that of a public school and that the school prepares the pupils to live in a society such as the Danish with freedom and democracy, and that the school strengthens and develops the students’ democratic culture.
The school receives a subsidy from the Danish State to cover the general costs related to education. The board determines the amount of the school fees, which covers the remaining amount.
