St. Petri Schule is a Deutsch‑Dänische Schule in Copenhagen for ages 3–18, offering a German Curriculum with a Danish–German programme. The school comprises a kindergarten (0), a nine‑year primary, and a Gymnasium (10–12). Language is central through a Sprogkoncept, with Danish and German treated as equal languages taught by native speakers; DaF and DSU support Danish as a second language and German as a foreign language. In the 0th class, two teachers (Danish‑speaking and German‑speaking) work together to reach A1+ after two years. Indskoling (0–5) mirrors German Grundschule; Udskoling (6–9) raises academic and language demands and culminates in FP9 and the German SEK I. The Gymnasium offers a double diploma (DIA and STX), recognised by the Danish Ministry as equivalent to Abitur, enabling university access in Denmark, Germany and beyond. With a 450‑year history, it is the oldest German international school, connected to the Danish royal family and Sankt Petri Church. Its four pillars—Curiosity, Well‑being, Cultural Encounter, Tradition—shape a broad education with Umweltrat, Musikschule and Jugend musiziert, plus SFO and Klubben.
