Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Apply and eligibility: To apply, read the enrolment criteria before contacting the school to determine eligibility. If eligible, the child is placed on the waiting list until a place is available. When a place becomes available, you and your child are invited to an interview to evaluate whether an international school is the right choice for you and your child. The enrolment criteria comply with the Danish law on international primary and lower secondary schools (the KIG law) and the school's by-laws.
2. Group 1 New to Denmark: Group 1 families have priority enrolment. Offers of a place may be made throughout the year if spaces are available. To be placed in Group 1, families and students must meet as many of the following criteria as possible: you have recently arrived, recently returned, and/or are temporarily in Denmark; you are in Denmark for the purposes of work (for example, those moving to Lolland in connection with the Fehmarn Tunnel infrastructure project); you intend, or currently live in Lolland Municipality; the child you are enrolling has previously attended an international school/kindergarten; the child you are enrolling is a sibling of a current student.
3. Group 2 Residing in Denmark: Group 2 families are typically Danish families currently in Denmark, mixed-nationality families with permanent residency in Denmark, or foreign families with permanent residency in Denmark. Applicants will be placed on a waiting list. Students must reside in Lolland Municipality. If a space is available, after group 1 offers have been made, your child will be offered a place with commencement at the beginning of a new school year. Priority is given to siblings of current students first. If it is not possible to meet all wishes for admission, places will be determined by randomly drawing lots.
4. Starting School and Spring School: Children born in 2020 are due to start school in Spring School in April 2026 followed by school proper, Grade 0, in August 2026. Spring School (førskole) runs from April through to the end of June. It is the early start program designed to familiarise children with the new school setting, the staff, routines, and exposure to two languages to prepare them for Grade 0. There are only a limited number of spaces available for Spring School and Grade 0; places for Spring School and Grade 0 are offered before 1 October 2025. Contact the school to arrange for an enrolment interview.
Eligible children are placed on the waiting list until a place becomes available. Group 1 offers may be made throughout the year if spaces are available; Group 2 follows after Group 1, with priority to siblings. If it is not possible to meet all wishes for admission, places may be allocated by random drawing.
Lolland International School is an international folkeskole in Maribo, Denmark, serving ages 5 to 15.
