Languages taught: English and Danish. Instruction in Mathematics, English and the Sciences is in English; Danish, Art, PE, Religion and Music are taught in Danish, following Cambridge International Examinations for English-language subjects and the Dansk fællesmål Danish National Curriculum for Danish-language subjects. The program aims to produce fully bilingual students who can attend a Danish gymnasium or an International high school. Language support is provided for Danish and English as a foreign language when needed.
The program is the first fully integrated English/Danish international programme in Denmark. Mathematics, English and the Sciences are taught in English by native English speakers following the Cambridge International Examinations system, while Danish, Art, PE, Religion and Music are taught in Danish by native Danish speakers following the Danish National Curriculum. The programme is open to primary students (Kindergarten–5th grade) and secondary students (7th grade), beginning August 2014. The goal is for students to become fully bilingual and to be equally prepared to attend either a Danish gymnasium or an International high school.
