General Information

We are a knowledge-oriented Upper Secondary school with a great international perspective. Here is a wide selection of educations with great opportunities for advanced courses in, for example, music and mathematics. 

We have nearly 1900 students and 250 teachers.

- Exchange of ideas concerning teaching theory and practise as well as culture.

 

Mission and Objectives

Our aim is to increase the opportunities of cultural understanding and acceptance for our different approaches to schools’ curricula regarding Science, Art and Music.

Exchange of pedagogical and methodological ideas and discussions about perspectives with respect to teaching approaches to the subjects and thorough comparison between theories of curricula gives a foundation for the analytical part of the exchange program.

Main Projects / Activities

We were part of a workshop at The World Culture Museum in Gothenburg. Principals and teachers from all partner schools were invited. Then, we had an exhibition in Alexandria and we organised a concert. 

 

The economics program is a university preparatory program with a focus on studies in mainly economics, law and other social science areas.

With our aesthetic program, you get the best of both worlds: a study preparation education with university qualifications that simultaneously develops you musically. It opens up many choices for the future.

The sales and service program is a new program at Hvitfeldtska Gymnasium that starts in the autumn of 2022 and replaces the Trade and Administration program. This is a vocational program for those who are interested in working in the trading industry with sales, marketing, leadership and service.

International Bachelor: Founded in the 1960s, the IBO grew out of international schools’ efforts to establish a common curriculum and university entry credential for geographically mobile students.

The social sciences program is a university preparatory program. After graduating from the program, students must have knowledge for university studies in a broad field of social sciences.

The science program at Hvitfeldtska Gymnasium has both breadth and excellence and is a very stimulating education.
