Føroya Studentaskúli og HF-Skeið is a high school in the valley of , outside Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. It has over 900 students enrolled. The institution is the Faroe Islands' eldest and biggest high school.
History[]
The school was founded in 1937. In 1962 it moved to Hoydalar. A new school for the high school is planned to be built now in Marknagil in Tórshavn, the project is called Marknagilsdepilin. It is scheduled to open in 2016.[1]
Studies structure[]
Students under the age of 18 are enrolled for a 3-year period (Student). Older students can achieve a diploma after only a 2-year period (HF). The curricula and final exams vary between the two but the diplomas achieved after the finals are of equal value.
Underaged[]
Students choosing Student (the 3-year period) can choose between the mathematics line and the language line. The former is focusing on science while the latter mainly consists of language-courses. Students on both lines have courses on a lower level from the other line, e.g. the language students have mathematic on C-level.
Adults[]
Students choosing HF (the 2-year period) have the same courses as the student on the 3-year period but with different curricula. To obtain a diploma the students have to attend a final exam in all courses, as opposed to the 3-years period where students only attend final exams in some of the courses (selected by lot).
