International School of Billund

The school provides Well-being and Mental Health Resources with trained Well-being/Learning Support Specialists and a network of external specialists to support students' social and emotional health. A School Psychologist provides monthly consultations with Well-being/Learning Support Specialists. The Fri for Mobberi Programme in Kindergarten and Primary School instills values of empathy, respect and inclusiveness to prevent bullying and foster a positive, supportive culture among students. External collaboration extends to Speech and Language Therapists, Physiotherapist, Family Counsellors, and a Regional Child and Youth Psychiatrist, coordinating support as needed. Parent collaboration is emphasised, with ongoing engagement between families and the school in planning and addressing student well-being.

In-school Academic Support provides tailored academic help in the usual learning environments, with interventions to promote inclusion. An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is created when needed to outline strategies tailored to a student. Well-being and Mental Health Resources include trained specialists and a network of external specialists to support learning and wellbeing. External collaboration partners include a School Psychologist, Speech and Language Therapists, Physiotherapist, Family Counsellors, and a Regional Child and Youth Psychiatrist, coordinating with ISB. Parents are encouraged to participate in ongoing meetings to discuss progress, challenges and possible solutions.

The language of instruction at ISB is English. Assessments may include English or English as a Language of Instruction (EAL), and English language requirements vary by grade level. Danish is taught starting in P1, with three hours per week, and two tracks: Danish Language & Literature (home language) and Danish Acquisition (EAL). International families may need to pursue Danish immersion outside of school to achieve fluency.

ISB provides Well-being and Mental Health Resources with trained Well-being/Learning Support Specialists and a network of external specialists to support students' mental health. A School Psychologist coordinates monthly consultations with Well-being/Learning Support Specialists. Staff are certified in First Aid and CPR to ensure health and safety. The school's approach is aligned with IB philosophy to foster healthy relationships and a caring learning environment.

If ISB is concerned about a student's well-being or home situation, the school is required by law to notify the municipality. In cases involving abuse, authorities are contacted without informing the parents. Close parent collaboration is emphasised, with parents advised to engage with their child's Homeroom teacher as a first step. When admitting a child, parents must disclose known educational needs and medical conditions, and ISB may end collaboration if undisclosed needs cannot be supported.
