In terms of holistic personal development, extracurricular activities play an essential role in Louisenlund's pedagogy. At Louisenlund, learning becomes an experience. Experiencing nature, character development and social responsibility are firmly anchored in the Louisenlund pedagogy. In addition to a solid academic foundation in the traditional subjects, the extracurricular program is another important dimension of learning at the boarding school.

With a wide range of services, guilds (AGs), courses and individual activities, the Louisenlund Foundation offers young people the opportunity to develop their talents, explore their interests and learn to take responsibility for themselves and others.

On the one hand, the extracurricular activities pick up on content from the lessons and give pupils the opportunity to engage with classroom content in a practical way. On the other hand, pupils develop a strong social awareness, build on individual strengths and learn to take responsibility for themselves and others. Pupils at Louisenlund have access to a wide range of activities - from sport, art and culture to business, politics, social issues and technology, such as: THW, cutter sailing, Rwanda coffee, biotechnology, agroforestry, debating society and many other topics. In addition, there are honorary posts, services, individual activities and open offers. This thematic richness enables a multi-layered education that goes far beyond traditional learning.

The free choice of guilds allows students to realize their own interests or try out new things and expand their experience. They meet students from different year groups and school types to learn together in practice and experience how teams work. They exchange ideas, give and receive feedback and strengthen their communication and critical thinking skills. In the guilds, the girls and boys can try out different roles - sometimes as a captain with responsibility, sometimes as a sailor who accepts orders. Through this interaction, the pupils recognize their strengths and weaknesses and open themselves up to new topics and impressions. The extracurricular program conveys important values for living together on campus, shapes character through competition and promotes empathy.
