Interskolen

Interskolen emphasizes a balance between high academic standards and the personal development of each student. The school promotes a culture of mutual respect, responsibility, and independence, where student well-being is considered a prerequisite for learning. It encourages active engagement from parents to create a motivating and supportive environment for the children.

The school follows the Danish Ministry of Education's "common goals" (fællesmål) as its primary curriculum framework. Instruction is conducted in Danish, with a strong emphasis on language acquisition; English is introduced in 0. grade, German in 3. grade, and French in 5. grade, all taught by native speakers. The curriculum also includes specialized goals for subjects such as physical education, nutrition, material design, and music.

The school provides access to specialized support services, including a school doctor, a health visitor, and pedagogical/psychological counseling (PPR). Additionally, students have access to a school psychologist, a speech consultant, a reading consultant, and a school counselor (UU-vejleder) to support their academic and personal development.

Interskolen accepts new students from 0. to 8. grade, provided there are vacancies on the relevant grade level. Interested families are encouraged to register on the school's interest list, though registration does not guarantee a place. Siblings are given priority, and if a vacancy arises, families are invited for an interview.

The school year typically begins in mid-August, with specific start times for 0. grade and 1.-9. grade. The academic calendar includes standard breaks such as autumn, Christmas, winter, and Easter holidays, as well as public holidays like Constitution Day and the Ascension Day period. The school also hosts a mandatory "Saturday school" for 0.-2. grades in October.

Located in Viby J, the campus provides a setting for daily instruction and activities. The school grounds include a schoolyard used for play, events, and outdoor learning, such as role-playing activities. The school also utilizes external facilities for specialized learning, such as museums, nature centers, and concert halls, to support its curriculum.

The school offers a range of activities, including a SFO (after-school program) and a club for older students, which organize events like summer camps, role-playing games, and creative workshops. Students participate in various excursions and mandatory school trips, with travel outside Denmark beginning in 6. grade to foster cultural awareness. Additionally, the school facilitates student involvement through an active student council.
