The Village of Schools", near Lemvig, consists of Nissum Teacher-Training Village, Nissum Village and North Nissum Church Village. This Home Mission community houses a teacher-training college, a higher preparatory examination course centre, a folkeskole for 7-16-year-olds, a high school and three boarding schools for 14-17-year-olds. The teacher-training village has grown up over the past 100 years around the vicarage, named the Akropolis. It began with a high school in 1887 and gained a teacher-training college in 1892 under the Home Mission motto of "Prayer and work". The oldest colleges are called Athens (1892), Sparta (1893) and Thebes (1894). Portgård (1903), on the outskirts, was built to supply the high school and college kitchens with provisions. The church village also has its own mission house (1906) and another high school (1923). "
