Viborg International School uses rolling admissions with no application deadline, though places fill up during the year. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year and new students may join the school year if a place is available in the appropriate grade level. Grade placement is made by the school management based on the child's previous academic placement and reports, and if appropriate any admissions assessments. International families have priority ahead of other families, as will siblings to current students. Language of communication and instruction is English; if you are an international family with children who do not speak any English, contact us to discuss further. Application process: If you have Danish CPR No. and MitID please apply HERE. Otherwise these are the steps ahead: 1. Your child is only formally on our waiting list when you have received an email to this effect and only following the steps above.
To be placed on the waiting list, you must first fill out in full and return an application form for each child that you wish to enroll at the school. Each family will be listed according to the date on which we receive the application form. International families take many forms, so in the spirit of fairness we always make any decision on admissions based on whether the child has other alternatives to schooling available locally.
