Sønderborg International School is a private educational establishment. It is recognized by and subject to Danish law and receives a subsidy from the Danish State. We are registered with the Danish Department for Children and Education, Undervisningsministeriet, as institution nr: 280202. We are requested to and are proud to prepare the students for Folkeskolens Afgangsprøve in the subject Danish. This ensures a smooth transition to the Danish upper secondary level, Gymnasium. We are affiliated with the University of Cambridge International Examinations as a Cambridge International School and are registered as school nr: DK 093. We teach the Cambridge Secondary 1 for 11 to 14-year-olds and the Cambridge Secondary 2 for 14 to 16-year-olds. This is an internationally recognized scheme that prepares our students to achieve all that they can. Having completed Cambridge Secondary 1 the students are entered for the Cambridge Checkpoint assessment. Having completed Cambridge Secondary 2 the students are entered for Cambridge IGCSE exams. Having passed these exams, the student’s option for transition to international A-level equivalents including the International Baccalaureate program is secured. We believe that this combines the best of worlds and is to the benefit of our students’ future options. We are also a member of Danmarks Privatskoleforening and its subsidiary, Danish International Schools’ Network which is the body that supports the Danish International Schools in their strive for excellence through providing professional training and counseling advice. Our students are taught in combined classrooms similar to what is common at smaller schools in the UK. By doing this we have a broader range of student abilities represented in each teaching group for which reason we have a limit of 20 students per teaching group. To address the needs of every student, we employ teaching assistants in many lessons. “It is our mission in partnership with parents to provide the highest quality education for internationally minded students in an inquiring and supportive environment. We seek to inspire students and to provide them with the academic and social skills that will enable them to fulfill their potential as global citizens.” A school is a caring place where each student is made to feel valued and respected. Parents and teachers have high expectations and we do our best to ensure that each child achieves his or her potential. We deliver an exciting and challenging curriculum that is taught in English. We also follow the Danish language curriculum. We offer German and Spanish studies in addition to a broad and balanced curriculum which reflects and corresponds well to educational systems across the world. The curriculum is inspired by the National Curriculum for England and the students’ progress is described by the level descriptions stated therein. Since the International School came into existence in 2007 it has undergone a radical change. The school started as a department of Privatskolen Als and enjoyed the financial support of global company Danfoss as well as Sønderborg Kommune. Under the brand: The International School of Als, we set sail with just 12 students, but soon this number rose to 24, then 35, then 49. It was evident that the school needed room for expansion and through the committed work carried out by past and present board members and employees, the School separated itself from Privatskolen Als in August 2011 and found a new identity as Sønderborg International School on Grundtvigs Allé. In summer 2013 we have relocated to Sdr. Landevej 28 in completely refurbished buildings which will allow us to expand and develop our program even further. We play an important role in the creation of an internationally-minded program of education in our region. Sønderborg now has an international Kindergarten, Børnehaven Løven, an international primary and lower secondary school, the International Baccalaureate A-level college at EUC Syd, and finally the University College Syd.

At ISIB, students are the heart of our school. We recognize every student as unique and value all student's contributions equally.

Students at ISIB learn to face challenges of education head-on and with confidence. Our qualified teachers have a wealth of international experience and are highly committed to providing quality and varied learning opportunities for your child. The schools' mission and vision are to establish a true International School in the heart of Denmark. We aim to create well-educated, harmonious, and balanced students, who will be well prepared for future life in a globalized, democratic, and diverse world. International School Ikast-Brande is fundamentally a family-oriented school, where we encourage the students to care for each other in an environment that promotes consideration, cooperation, and courtesy. As a school, it is important to us that each child is acknowledged and appreciated for his or her individual contribution to the continuous learning process, which is evident in the diverse fabric of the school. Students at ISIB are celebrated for excellence, commitment, and hard work. Academic excellence is the measure of every good school. We define academic excellence as the balance between achieving the best possible grades, and the ability to positively protect one’s socio-emotional well-being. At ISIB we understand and honor the diversity of learners by ensuring and guiding instructional practices that take into account the different learning styles, multiple intelligences, and academic gaps that students bring with them. Differentiated instruction is the key to a nurturing and meaningful learning experience. Constant opportunities for assessments, feedback, and meaningful reflection are vital signs of our learning community. The Cambridge International Curriculum, combined with the International Primary Curriculum is our point of academic and socio-emotional reference. We understand curriculum as an effective and powerful tool used and adapted for the benefit of the child. Our teachers are excellent and modern practitioners with the ability to relate to students and facilitate instruction to a culturally diverse group of students. We benefit from the experience of teachers from all across the globe. Our parents are motivated and evolved individuals willing to share their time and multiple experiences and talents for the greater good of this learning community. Our student body is the heart of this community. You will find smiling faces and respectful young individuals enjoying the challenges of school life.

The framework that applies to teaching and boarding schools helps to structure the student’s everyday life and creates the security and well-being, that are prerequisites for developing individual abilities. This happens through a combination of subordinate and independence, where it becomes natural to unfold your personality and at the same time be loyal and feel responsible for your school and peers. When you work consciously to develop your skills and self-reliance in a process where things get interesting, require courage, and ultimately lead to personal development, it is important to feel that you have solid ground below your feet. Both in academic work and the extra-curricular pursuits, the key is making an effort and doing your best every time.

Established August 2013 by the LEGO Foundation. A private, independent school with an independent board. Almost 400 students and 100 members of staff. Close to 50 nationalities represented 3 departments: Kindergarten (3-6 years), Primary (6-11 years), Middle School (11-16 years). By placing PLAY at the heart of education, ISB stimulates every child’s natural desire to LEARN. To cultivate a community of lifelong learners who will create a better world with courage, compassion, and curiosity. At ISB we believe play is a core approach to learning…and life. Playful people of all ages are actively engaged and driven by an internal desire to understand and reshape the world. They test the limits of their abilities without fear of failure, knowing that mistakes are the key to progress and, ultimately, success. They share ideas and make new rules. They laugh. At ISB we believe that by creating a culture of playful learning— by consciously introducing elements of choice, wonder, and delight into the classroom— we are nurturing the qualities that will carry our students not only to their next educational destinations but through life. No matter the paths they choose, ISB graduates will seek knowledge, take risks and care for one another. They will play, and they will learn. ISB opened its doors in August 2013 with just over 60 students in Kindergarten and Primary. Today, we have close to 400 students, ages 3-16, spread across Kindergarten, Primary, and Middle School. About one-third of our students are Danish, with the rest representing 50 nations around the world. From the start, ISB’s goals have been ambitious, but achievable: first, to demonstrate the power of playful learning in a real-world setting, and second, to make Billund – the Capital of Children – an even more attractive place to settle, both for Danish and international families. ISB’s playful curriculum is built upon the rigorous educational framework of the International Baccalaureate, which provides students with a solid and transferable foundation of academic skills. We are an authorized IB World School for both the Primary and Middle Years Programme.

“Everyone must be happy to go to school” stands in many of our classrooms. It is one of the basic principles at Vejle Private School. Everybody here should feel comfortable, differences are accepted, and nationality is of no significance. Based on values such as respect, inclusion, accountability, engagement in relationships, and the development of social and personal skills, students are embraced in a supportive and safe learning environment. Make class quotas with approx. 20-22 students in the classes Grades on all yearends and final examinations Practical, musical subjects all the way to the final examinations Teachers who teach only in their subjects and are rarely replaced Study tours and excursions Vejle Private School and Kindergarten is a Danish institution that retrieves its universal values from Islam. The establishment of a Muslim school must, therefore, in essence, be understood as a desire to create a humanist project that will build a bridge between the Muslim community with the Danish norms and values through education and learning. Every student must be equipped to take on the task of becoming an active citizen with strong roots. It is therefore important that the students at a Muslim school develop the ability, the will, and the will to use their own skills for the benefit of other people and the world. You take your child’s future seriously, so we commit ourselves to each other. Here we are curious and ambitious who prioritize quality in teaching and want the right academic knowledge for students’ further education. We want our students to do well – also abroad. Therefore, we focus on language skills and cultural activities. As future citizens, the students are equipped to do well in English. Therefore we offer English already from kindergarten and 0. class. Pupils with special abilities are offered tuition in Cambridge English. We must be among the best elementary schools and kindergartens, measured on the academic and personal development of the students. Care, positive learning environment, and intercourse are key words at Vejle Private School. It helps to ensure time for the individual student so that personal development can be stimulated as best as possible. At the same time, we believe it is important that the student’s independence is strengthened and that the individual student is aware of his or her own responsibility and social behavior. We demand good conduct, good tone, and workmanship. At the same time, we take into account and take care of each other. To educate competent, respectful, accommodating, and responsible students with knowledge of their rights, duties, and responsibilities in a democratic judicial community. To promote the acquisition of Danish culture, integration, understanding, and respect for other cultures in cooperation with the parents. To build up the students’ identity, knowledge of their own culture and religion, as well as the acquisition of the Danish language and mother tongue.

As a member of the Institut Sankt Joseph Community, We witness how our educational ideals are put into practice every day. It is my mission to make sure that each child has access to an academically challenging liberal arts education, which is composed of an ambitious and caring school environment that is grounded in professionalism, solidarity, and Catholic-humanistic ideals. In everyday teaching, we value sufficient time for dialogue, reflection, and thoughtfulness, also about existential and religious issues. It is our goal that every student’s intellectual, creative and spiritual development are developed together as they grow at our school. We offer a vibrant and unique international environment, with students representing over 50 countries worldwide which makes for a diverse student body – culturally, religiously, and socio-economically. An interactive process where children are included in open and trusting relationships, and whereby the teaching staff has the desire and skills necessary to help open up the world to every child. Institut Sankt Joseph was established November 17, 1858, by the St. Joseph Sisters Society, which governed the school until March of 1976. The school was started as an all girl´s academy and stayed that way until 1968 when boys were also admitted. The school’s main building was built in 1914-15, and in 1928 the building underwent a major expansion, wherein a physics and biology lab was added. The building was designed by architect Christian Mandrup-Poulsen, who also designed the sisters’ convent and Jeanne d’Arc School. An inner acquisition and processing system, where children process the influences that he /she meets through interaction with the outside world. The starting point is the child’s experience and prior learning. At Institut Sankt Joseph Copenhagen, we strive to bring the following formation ideas into reality: Every child shall be educated and formed in the values of community, democracy, and equal human dignity. Every child shall have an understanding and an insight into other religions, nationalities, languages, and cultures. Every child shall have self-awareness with a growing recognition of their strengths and values. Every child shall use their abilities for learning, creativity, and proficiency. Every child´s worldview and belief system shall be developed and made more mature. Every child will want to use himself for the benefit of other human beings and the world to create more freedom, justice, and peace. Every child shall have the ability and courage to make ethically founded choices, and know that choices have consequences. Every child shall leave the school with specific competencies, courage to take on life, and a desire for lifelong learning. Students from ISJ will be positive members of society by being polite and empathetic towards others.
