Curriculum

Cambridge Checkpoint exams are taken at the end of Stage 9 to assess progress in English, Mathematics, and Science. To pass the Cambridge IGCSE, students sit at least seven exams including two languages, mathematics, one or more science subjects, and either Information Technology or Food and Nutrition. Distinction means at least five A grades, Merit means at least five C grades, and Pass means at least seven passes. A year-by-year record of IGCSE results is published, and 2020 results were not published due to the Covid lockdown.
Exam Results
Cambridge International Examinations results are shown for Stage 11 (IGCSE) with counts of Distinction, Merit, and Pass by year; 2022 records show multiple Merit and Pass outcomes and no Distinctions in that year, while earlier years also show Distinction and Merit results. Checkpoint exam results are shown for Stage 6 (end of Year 9) as average scores in English, Maths, and Science; there were no Checkpoint results published for 2020 due to Covid-19. The page provides a year-by-year breakdown of outcomes, including a note that 2020 results were not published due to Covid lockdown.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Support for learning is available when requested by the student, guardian, or teacher, with an assessment by the SPU Coordinator to diagnose learning difficulties. English as a second language support is available in small groups a couple of times a week for students who lack English, with immersion in the classroom. Danish as a second language support provides a second teacher for Danish language lessons to help students who cannot follow the main Danish programme through small-group teaching. Diagnosed learning difficulties such as dyslexia lead to an Individual Learning Programme developed with parents and teachers, with options including guidance, aids, differentiation, co-teaching or an intensive course. If needs are severe, students can be referred to Aalborg Kommune's PPR service for additional help, but as a private school we do not routinely provide specialist extra lessons; discuss needs at the interview.
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English as a second language support is available when needed. If a student struggles due to lack of English, they may join a support group a couple of times a week. Most children absorb English through total immersion in the classroom once they have a basic language structure. The school does not provide individual English lessons to all students who could benefit. The school is bilingual in Danish and English.
