The Tovshoejskolen school is a Danish primary and lower secondary school (a "Folkeskole") situated in Brabrand in the west of Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark.
The school is architecturally divided into 6 "houses".
5 of these are classroom-houses and the 6th is for leisure-time care facilities.
In addition to these we have science/physics/chemistry rooms, home economics facilities, a woodwork/metalwork room, an art room, a sports centre, a swimming pool, a library, a canteen, dentist's and doctor's facilities and a sports ground/playing field.
The school educates pupils from 1st to 10th class/grade (app. 6 to 16 year-olds) where the 10th class/grade is an internationally focused senior year, based on theatre activities and attracting pupils from all over Aarhus.
Our 5 reception classes for newly arrived foreigners educates 13-17 year-olds divided into the following 5 classes: 1 class for pupils with an education equivalent to Danish children in that age group, 1 class for beginners, 2 middle group classes and an all-girl's class.
In addition, we educate 4 classes of physically handicapped children from all over the Aarhus County Council district (the "Amt").
The school has app. 60% pupils of bilingual origin, mainly Arabic, Turkish and Somali.
Amongst the pupils (both Danish and bilingual) there is a deficiency of elementary qualifications needed to begin in the Danish Folkeskole. These deficiencies have to be compensated for, while fulfilling the requirements in the Danish Folkeskole's
law and regulations.
The school currently employs 58 teachers, including 2 in charge of foreign mother-tongue teaching, 1 teacher with Arabic backgrounds attached to the staff of our reception classes, 2 preschool/nursery class (5 year-olds) leaders and 1 preschool/nursery assistant.
