Academics

Curriculum
ISB offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP). The school is an IB World School for both the Primary and Middle Years Programmes, with Kindergarten through Middle School following the IB framework.

Student Teacher Ratio
Kindergarten class size is about 20 children per class, with at least two teachers in each class, giving roughly a 1:10 student–teacher ratio. The ISB Parent Handbook notes a low student–teacher ratio across levels.

Higher Education Progression
Graduates can continue to the IB Diploma Programme (DP). Direct admission to the two-year IB Diploma Programme based on MYP examinations typically requires a minimum of 37 points in the MYP certificates and a pass (grade 3 or above) in the Personal Project; higher-level maths or sciences may require a grade 6 in criterion A. The MYP especially prepares students for the DP, and ISB notes pathways to the DP at nearby Danish DP schools such as Kolding Gymnasium, with other Danish upper secondary options described in the Danish upper secondary pathways guide.

Admissions

Admissions
Applications are submitted via isbillund.openapply.com. Prospective families visit ISB during monthly tours (registration by email to the Admissions Manager). Admissions are rolling and priority is given to families with a demonstrated need for an international education. In a fully subscribed class, priority is: 1. International children new to Denmark; 2) Siblings of current ISB students; 3) International children already living in Denmark; 4) Danish nationals returning from abroad; 5) Danish nationals. New applications are reviewed twice a month. The cost to apply is 500 DKK per student; if admitted, a non-refundable enrollment fee of 3,000 DKK per family is due. The language of instruction is English, with Danish taught at least three hours per week starting in P1. Danish is offered in two tracks: Danish Language & Literature (for students who have Danish as a home language) and Danish Acquisition (for students learning Danish as an additional language); moving between tracks is possible but rare. After ISB, graduates often continue in the Danish system, and international families wishing for fluency may pursue Danish immersion outside of school.

In a fully subscribed class, priority will be given as: 1) International children new to Denmark; 2) Siblings of current ISB students; 3) International children already living in Denmark; 4) Danish nationals returning from abroad; 5) Danish nationals. If your child is placed on the waiting list, the application will be reviewed monthly. While on the waiting list, parents are allowed to decline an offered place once and remain on the waiting list. The second time an offered place is declined, the child will be permanently removed from the waiting list. A new application must be made if the child continues to seek enrollment.
