In what was originally the parish hall of Sct. Stefan’s Church, a schoolroom has been set up. It is designed to appear as it would have in the first half of the 20th century. The students sit at single or double desks with space for a pen and inkwell in the desktop. The teacher sits at a lectern on a raised podium, elevated above the students. On the walls hang educational charts, and in the cabinets are stuffed animals and other teaching materials.
Behind the parish hall, you’ll find the church's travel stable, with room for 8 horses.
Since 1814, Denmark has had compulsory education for 7 years. However, many rural children only attended village schools every other day until the School Act of 1958. The core subjects in village schools were Christianity, reading, writing, and arithmetic, often supplemented with a bit of geography, history, and biology. A typical village school had a headteacher, an assistant teacher, and a pre-school teacher (with a one-year teaching qualification) who taught the younger students during their first three school years.
The autumn break in week 42 was originally called "Potato Holiday," as children were given a week off from school to help with the potato harvest at home on the farms.
