Risskov Gymnasium is a school of secondary education and a Danish gymnasium in Aarhus, Denmark. The school is an financially independent self-owning educational institution under the Danish state. The school offers the 3 year matriculation examination (STX) programme within four main bracnhes; natural sciences, political sciences, language and art.
The school has approximately 800 students enlisted ranging from 15 to 19 years old with 10 new classes beginning every year. The student body is divided between 30 classes divided in Freshman, Junior and Senior year.
The natural science programme includes subjects such as biotechnology, physics, chemistry and biology; the political science programme subjects such as social studies, economics, psychology and media studies; and language and arts programmes with subjects such as French, Spanish, German, Latin, Greek and music.
Besides these profile subjects we teach a number of mandatory subjects such as math, English, social studies and Danish, as well as approximately 25 select subjects ranging from astronomy over philosophy to physical education.
Risskov Gymnasium was originally Amtsgymnasiet, Vejlby-Risskov (Danish: County Gymnasium, Vejlby-Risskov). In the 1960s the school commission in the, now defunct, Vejlby-Risskov Municipality suggested that the fifth gymnasium in the vicinity of Aarhus should be placed in Vejlby. However, a municipal reform had been announced so the municipalities surrounding Aarhus and Aarhus County collaborated to take over the project and the school was placed in Risskov.
