Q&A
The leadership and supervision at Ranum Efterskole during the summer program are designed to ensure a safe and enriching experience for all participants. The program is overseen by a summer school director or program leader, who is responsible for coordinating activities and ensuring the smooth operation of the program. Teachers and activity leaders handle academic sessions, creative workshops, and extracurricular activities. Support staff, including health personnel and administrative staff, are on hand to meet the students’ daily needs and manage any emergencies. Clear communication between students, staff, and parents is essential, and parents are typically kept informed of important events or any issues that arise during the program.
Ranum Efterskole College considers applicants with relevant qualifications, not just those with formal teacher training. They welcome applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds, including high school teaching or similar experience.
Of course! We conduct rigorous background checks on all staff members. The is includes obtaining the mandatory child-protection certificate, which ensures that no employee has a criminal record that could make them unsuitable to work with children. These measures are in place to guarantee a safe and secure environment for all students.
At Ranum Efterskole, staff training and professional development are key to maintaining high standards. New staff members typically go through an onboarding process to familiarize themselves with the school’s values, teaching methods, and procedures. Ongoing professional development is encouraged through workshops, seminars, and collaborative learning, where staff share best practices and stay updated on educational trends. Regular feedback and evaluations help staff identify areas for improvement and grow in their roles. The focus is on student-centered approaches, ensuring that teaching methods promote student engagement, well-being, and independence.
Ranum Efterskole College emphasizes inclusivity in its broadest sense. They aim to create space for diversity and students with different backgrounds and needs, believing that interaction with others forms the basis for development. Their goal is for all students to benefit from the teaching and participate in the community, ensuring a rewarding year both academically and socially.
At Ranum Efterskole, we aim to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive community where every student can thrive. Our Code of Conduct reflects our values and complies with Danish laws and regulations. By being part of this community, students agree to uphold these principles, fostering personal growth and mutual respect. Respect for Others is at the heart of our community. Students are expected to treat everyone with kindness and inclusivity, valuing diversity and cooperation. Bullying, discrimination, and harassment are not tolerated. Responsibility and Integrity are essential. Students must care for school property, be honest in their academic work, and take responsibility for their actions, both in and outside the classroom. Health and Safety are top priorities. Our policies include a strict no-drugs rule, no alcohol on school grounds, and a ban on smoking, including tobacco, snuff, and e-cigarettes. Students must also follow safety guidelines, especially for maritime activities, in line with Danish Maritime Authority regulations. Environmental Responsibility is encouraged through sustainable practices like recycling, reducing waste, and conserving energy. Students should respect nature and engage with the environment responsibly. At Ranum, we promote Freedom with Responsibility. While students are free to express themselves, it must be done respectfully. Conflicts should be resolved peacefully and constructively. Violations of the Code of Conduct may lead to disciplinary actions, from warnings to suspension from school activities, depending on the situation. These measures ensure that the school remains a positive, safe environment for everyone. By following this Code, we all contribute to a respectful, supportive, and thriving community where every student has the opportunity to grow and succeed.
At the camp, mobile phone usage is limited to encourage focus during classes and promote more face-to-face interactions. Phones should not be used during class time, from 8 AM to 2 PM. Outside of class hours, students are allowed to use their phones, but we encourage them to engage with each other and make the most of their time in a shared, social environment. Our goal is to help students connect more deeply with one another, minimizing distractions and fostering meaningful relationships without the constant pull of technology.
When I went to REC over the summer, I had a great time of my life! The activities that were arranged and the friends that I made are unforgettable. I am still in touch with them till this day those memories that were left behind are top tier!
Peace from Portugal!
Honestly, I’m so happy that I chose this boarding-school. I had lots opportunities to experience different subjects to search subjects to see if they were suitable for me, in which ended being super succesful. The staff as well are very welcoming, helpful and happy! Don’t even get me started about the food, because the food in the canteen is definitely revolutionary. Even if I were supposed to be feeling alone, I would always have someone or somebody to talk to. The social environment here gets a 5-star rating from here!
I’ve experienced things that I never thought possible and have made life-long friends. Ranum is such a happy place and an experience that I will never forget. It shaped my life in such a positive way and I discovered who I am and what I want in life.
Ranum International Summer School was another world with a big family and lots of adventures. I made friends from all over the world and I got to know a very special school system. I studied English and Science and I fell in love with Sailing which I’d never tried before. I think it’s a unique experience which lasts a lifetime and I can’t compare it to anything in my life. I want to go back
I joined Ranum International Summer School and it was the best time of my life. Being in contact with people from all over the world opened my mind
