The Aarhus Academy (Danish: Århus Akademi) is a school of secondary education in Aarhus, Denmark. The school offers the 2 year Higher Preparatory Examination (HF) programme, the 2 year Matriculation examination (STX) programme and supplementary courses in specific disciplines.[1]
The academy was founded in 1933 by Svend Orhammer Andersen as a public elementary school which also offered a 2-year Matriculation examination programme for older students. Svend Andersen transferred oversigt of the academy to the Danish state in 1965 and 5 years later, in 1970, the Academy started a 2-year HF programme. The most popular programme through the 1970s was the 2-year STX programme which expanded greatly but in the late 1970s it gradually reversed. The 3 HF programmes from Risskov Gymnasium was transferred to the academy in August 1980 and the HF programme became dominant. The academy is today the largest institution of secondary education offering the 2-year HF programme and the only 2-year STX school in the area. The academy have had between 800 and 900 students between 2005 and 2015 divided between about 25 HF classes and 4 STX classes.[2]
