School Equivalents

Please review the School Equivalents chart to see which class your child should attend.

 

Current Classes

As a new and growing school, we add at least one year group every year so our oldest students never phase out of the school.

For the 2023-24 classes only classes 0. to 6 are available.

 

Language requirements

WISC accepts children of all nationalities from the age of 6.
Since the lessons will be taught mainly in English, it is an advantage but not a requirement that one of the child’s main languages is English.
We advise that one of the parents is Danish-speaking, but it is not a requirement.

 

Automatic enrollment in the Support Association

You automatically become a member of the WISC’s support association. It costs 250,- DKK a year to be a member, and the enrollment is registered when the amount is paid. You will receive an invoice by email.
