What kind of school is DRD
DRD is a “Daghøjskole” and you can compare it to the danish “Folk High School”

“The system of the Folk High Schools is almost unknown to most of the world outside of Scandinavia. To avoid misunderstandings it is necessary shortly to highlight what these schools are not:
Studying at a folk high school is not a qualification for the universities in Denmark or any other studies, higher or lower.
The Folk High Schools does not conduct any formal examination and issues no degrees”

But on the other hand: a lot of students at DRD gain a personal experience and competence in their chosen subjects that makes them able to pass an admittance test to an academic art education (theatre, dance, music etc) But this is not the main focus of DRD - our aim is that the classes have an entity by themselves and also includes personal development and clarification of educational possibilities.

On DRD you don’t board at the school, but outside – You have to find a place to stay in Copenhagen.
