Danish and English are the languages of instruction at Lolland International School. Instruction is bilingual across the curriculum, with English and Danish used in different subjects. Spring School and the transition to Grade 0 occur in a bilingual setting with daily activities in Danish, English, or both.
Lolland International School follows a dual-curricula, dual-immersion, bilingual program. Half of student subjects are taught in English and the other half in Danish. This approach aligns with research on bilingual education, showing bilingual students attain the same levels of achievement in mathematics and science as monolingual peers while acquiring an additional language.
Dual-immersion is central to the school's language model. Large portions of the day are conducted in Danish, English, or both. Spring School introduces two languages to children ahead of Grade 0 to ease their transition into a bilingual environment. This immersion approach supports language development and cognitive flexibility.
