I'm a 17-year-old senior in high school right now. I'm currently taking pre-calculus and plan on studying calculus in college so that I can eventually teach it.
Does anyone know if either pre-calculus or AP calculus are taught in Danish high schools (gymnasium)? If either subject is taught in high school, I'd like to teach there.
My other option is to teach calculus on the college level, which I don't mind, but I would have to further my education in order to become a professor.
This also might be a stupid question or sound like I'm disconnected, but are any school courses besides English taught in English? I'm learning Danish, but I know I'd have to learn a lot of technical language, especially considering that it's math.
Tak! :)

You have two options:
My recommendation to you is that if you want to come to Denmark as soon as possible, don't even bother with trying to become a teacher here. It will take at least another 10 years (5 years university education, 5 years work as a high school teacher in the US). Your chances would be infinitely better if you went for some sort of technical degree in high demand and applied at one of the larger Danish companies like Novo Nordisk, Lego, Vestas, etc.
On a personal note, with all of this in mind, I would strongly, and I mean really strongly recommend against planning your future academic and work life around the goal of moving in with your Danish boyfriend as soon as possible. Earlier in my life, when I was just a bit older than you, I made this exact same mistake for a girl, and untangling that mess was a huge clusterfuck I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. And I was planning on moving from one EU country to another, so I wouldn't have had to deal with immigration regulations, either!

Thank you for the advice.
I'm curious, though, as to how any Danish residents who are looking to become teachers, become teachers. Do they work in primary schools first for the experience or something similar?
I could also ask my boyfriend's stepmother about some things because she's a teacher.

They take a bachelor's and master's degree in a high school subject as well as a tilvalg, they do a year of pædagogikum, then they apply to work at a high school. Fairly straightforward, really.
Alternatively, people who get a bachelor's degree to br elementary school teachers can usually take an alternate, shorter path to become high school teachers after they've had sufficient work experience and getting a relevant master's degree.

Do Danish citizens have an easier time with becoming high school / gymnasium teachers even without the work experience?
Also, are high school and gymnasium interchangeable terms, or am I confusing myself? 😅
