Den Sidste Tid på BG
Datoer for eksamener og festligheder
Foråret er på vej og vores afgangselever går ind i deres sidste tid på Birkerød Gymnasium. Skolen er så småt begyndt at summe forventningsfuldt og spændt omkring de kommende eksaminer - og detaljerne om de efterfølgende festligheder. På BG kalder vi det DEN SIDSTE TID, fordi det lakker mod enden med den sidste time, de sidste lektier, den sidste cafe og fest, og de sidste prøver og eksamener. Det er en spændende, vemodig og festlig tid vi går i møde😊.
Derfor er der her en oversigt over de vigtigste datoer og arrangementer frem mod translokationen fredag den 28.juni 2024.
Et helt almindeligt gymnasium, og dog
Gymnasium, HF, IB & Kostskole
På BG har vi elever fra hele verden, og vi taler over 50 forskellige sprog.
Men vi har plads til ét mere; dit sprog, din personlige stemme.
Med hele verden som din baghave og uendelige muligheder for selvudvikling i din forhave er BG det rigtige valg for dig, der ser nysgerrigt på din fremtid.
Vi tilbyder både IB, STX, HF og kostskole og tør derfor godt prale af at være det mest mangfoldige sted nord for København.
Gymnasiet for os handler meget om matematik, men allermest om mennesker.
Her er der plads til alle, og vi giver pladsen til, at du kan finde dig selv.
Claus Reinholdt Campeotto
Rektor
Vælg mellem 10 studieretninger
Vi tilbyder et bredt udvalg af studieretninger, så du kan fordybe dig i netop de fag, der interesserer dig, om det er naturvidenskab, samfund, sprog, musik eller kunst. I grundforløbet får du mulighed for at afprøve de forskellige fag, så du kan vælge den uddannelse, der er helt rigtig for dig.
Dit BG
På BG går du ikke bare i skole. Vi udbyder et hav af sportshold, kreative og faglige aktiviteter, så du kan dyrke dine interesser sammen med dine venner fra skolen.
En verden af muligheder
Aktiviteter
Elitesport
Vi har gode forhold for elitesportselever, og når bøgerne lukkes, er der altid gang i vores store græsarealer og idrætsanlæg. Udover vores elitetilbud har vi skolehold i håndbold, fodbold, badminton, basketball, volleyball og ultimate, hvor vi træner sammen og spiller turneringer mod andre skoler. Ser du ikke din yndlingssport blandt de forskellige tilbud, vil vi meget gerne hjælpe dig med at starte et nyt hold.
Faglige tilbud
Science
BG har en stærk science-profil og næsten halvdelen af vores elever læser en naturvidenskabelig linje. Skolen har modtaget priser som fx Årets Forskerskole i 2019, og vi samarbejder tæt med danske Science-universiteter. Hvis du elsker at udfordre dig selv, får du rig mulighed for at dyste i faglige konkurrencer som DM i science, Fysik-OL eller Drug Hunter dysten.
Elevinvolvering
Tag ansvar
Som elev kan du få masser af indflydelse og være med til at bestemme, hvordan vi former livet på skolen, og hvordan din og dine venners uddannelse skal se ud. Vi har et stærkt elevråd og faste morgenmøder for hele skolen, hvor du kan følge med og dele din mening. Derudover er BG et Røde Kors Gymnasium, der arbejder for at tage ansvar for problemer i nabolaget og for større globale udfordringer.
Kultur og kunst
Vær kreativ
Bliv inspireret og slip din krøllede hjerne løs til vores mange kreative arrangementer. På BG holder vi alt fra fotomaratons, hvor elever dyster i at fange det flotteste øjebliksbillede af livet på skolen, til kunstnerisk dag, hvor vi omdanner skolen til et kreativt mesterværk. Hvert andet år arbejder mere end 100 elever og lærere sammen for at sætte vores store BG musical op. Har du en idé til vores næste kreative indslag? Det håber vi.
Studiecenter
Fordyb dig
Vi holder studiecafé flere gange om ugen, hvor du kan få hjælp og støtte til afleveringer. Du kan også altid tage forbi studiecentret og bruge de rolige rammer til at fordybe dig. Der er altid lærere til stede, og alt du skal gøre, er at dukke op. Hos os slipper du for støvede mørke biblioteker, men får lyse, lækre faciliteter, bøger i god stand og adgang til en lang række søgeportaler og digitale værktøjer.
Individuelle tilbud
Din tid
På STX og HF er der indlagt timer i undervisningen, som er din individuelle tid. Her kan du vælge mellem forskellige tilbud, hvor du kan udforske dine interesser og talenter. Måske vil du gerne lære at læse hurtigere? Eller tage et kursus i et fag, du har svært ved som gramatik eller matematik? Måske vil du hellere udfolde dig i filmværkstedet, poetryklubben, powerspansk eller scienceklubben? Det er helt op til dig.
Kommer du langvejs fra?
Så kan du bo på vores kostskole sammen med mere end 70 andre unge fra Danmark og andre lande. På kostskolen bor, spiser, arbejder, fester, griner, græder og lever vi sammen, og du vil få oplevelser og venner for livet. Kostskolen ligger tæt ved BG i et af Nordsjællands smukkeste naturområder og kun 30 min. med tog fra København.
Hvorfor skal du vælge lige netop vores skole?
Altid engagerede
Vores elever er vidt forskellige men har én ting til fælles. De brænder for deres felt. Om du er til sport, science, musik eller noget helt tredje, kan du forvente at blive en del af et ambitiøst fællesskab.
Stor mangfoldighed
Vi tilbyder både STX, HF og den internationale IB linje, så du vil både møde venner, der bor rundt om hjørnet og kommer langvejs fra. Det giver stor rummelighed på skolen.
Smukke omgivelser
Man tænker bare bedre, når man er omgivet af masser natur, lyse lokaler og har gode faciliteter til at studere, dyrke sport og udfolde sig kreativt.
Hvorfor vælge STX, HF eller IB? Eleverne fortæller
Når timen slutter
BG er ikke blot et sted, hvor du kommer og modtager undervisning for derefter at trave hjem igen. BG er et sted, hvor du former nye venskaber, interesser og talenter. Vi går op i at skabe et stærkt fællesskab, hvor der er plads til, at du kan være dig selv.

Let's talk about sex
Sex is one of the most natural things about being human, but at the same time one of the hardest things to talk about.

Are you crazy about sports?

For many of our students, it is important to have a daily life in which there is a balance between sport and school. We want to strengthen this focus on sports even more from the school year 2024/2025 by creating a class where all students have sports at B level.

The Intro Trip goes to Berlin
Well begun is, as we know, half done. This also applies when it comes to getting off to a good start in a new class.

Så er det tid til AP by Night
Hvorfor er AP så vigtigt? Undervisningen i grammatik huskes af mange som kedelig, angstfremkaldende, foruroligende, forbundet med nederlag eller simpelthen ren og skær glæde. Undervisningen i sprogforståelse kan tage form af kedelige, løsrevne grammatiske rutineøvelser. Men IKKE på BG, der åbner AP op for helt nye verdener og faglig indsigt – hvis du vil....?
