The beginning of 2015
We started 2015 with 72 students and went
from 4,5 classes to 5.
We had an increased focus on the financial
side, based on experience.
We also worked on increasing stability in staff
and students.
We knew that we would make mistakes and
have challenges, but also that we would learn
from it.
The School was looking to a brighter future
End of School year 2014-2015
All our focus point were met plus a continued
interest in the School from all parts of
Sønderborg and abroad.
The increased overall stability gave space for
teacher training, increased quality of
education. The school year ended with a
stable/increasing student number, stable
staff, stable board, stable parents, etc.
The foundation was there to do more.
