What is an international school?
International basic schools are private elementary schools approved by the Ministry of Children and Education for education in other languages than Danish – either for the whole school or for divisions within it.
Schools must apply to become recognized international schools. Approval is usually granted if the school or one of its divisions primarily cater for children with foreign parents, who live in Denmark and remain in Denmark for a shorter space of time.
