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. Fill in the admissions request form and schedule an optional school tour. The Admissions Portal handles inquiries or applications. The VIS Admissions Team supports families through all aspects of the application process.
2. Submit recent school reports and authorize a staff member at your child's current educational institution to fill in the VIS questionnaire. This helps VIS gather information about your child's prior schooling and placement. You may be asked to provide additional documents as part of the application process.
3. Child-Centered Assessment via Trial Days, Assessment Morning (prospective IC 1), and/or online interview. These assessments provide opportunities for your child to experience VIS's classroom environment. The results help determine readiness and fit for the program. The admissions decision will consider these assessments alongside other materials.
4. Once admission has been offered, sign the contract and pay the admission fee and refundable deposit (9700 DKK total). The contract confirms placement and terms. The deposit is refundable with three months' notice and subject to no outstanding fees.
5. The school will send all pre-arrival welcome documents so that you and your child feel ready for their first day of school. The documents cover logistics and next steps.
Waitlist: If a grade level is at capacity, eligible students may be placed on a waitlist and offered admission if space becomes available.
