Why take a pit stop?
Are you tired of studying or in doubt whether you have chosen the right study?
Has the exam and grade pressure become too great?
A pit stop at Ollerup gives you “peace of mind” and helps you clarify your future. We move you both physically and mentally – without exams and grades. We focus on community and give you time and space to be you.
You are not the only one!
Many students reach a point where the motivation for the study is small or completely gone. Instead of “dropping out”, you can take a high school stay on the pitstop scheme. The pit stop is not a resort, but a shortcut to being clarified and regaining motivation.
Write to Tina …
at tp@ollerup.dk or tel. 63 24 64 05
Tell briefly:
- who you are
- what education you are pursuing
- why you need a pit stop at Ollerup
You can only get a stay at a pit stop price if you have interrupted your education immediately before your high school stay.
When you receive an answer, you sign up in the normal way. Just remember to write “pitstop” under comments.
