MHS hosted a group of 25 students from Skals Efterskole Boarding School in Viborg, Denmark on April  15 as part of the school’s global exchange program. The premier English boarding school has an international curriculum which includes experiences in Vietnam, Nepal, the United States, and Ireland. 

During their visit, the students attended a variety of classes and presented to a group of MHS students about their school and life in Denmark. Several of our MHS students will participate in a panel to share what a typical day at MHS looks like, including their experiences in classes, activities, and student life.  

The visit was coordinated in partnership with Mundelein community member and MHS substitute teacher Larisa Brener, Director of International Programs, who works with schools and universities in Denmark. At the request of the Danish Consortium of Universities, Brener helped connect visiting students with local schools, including MHS.

This experience builds on ongoing international partnerships, including last year’s collaboration with the College of Lake County, the University of Illinois, and Harvard University to co-host a group of high school principals from Kazakhstan.
