Extracurricular activities after school hours

If your child would like to learn to play an instrument, be on a sports team, take dance classes, art classes, swimming lessons etc., these are organised through clubs and associations in Denmark, rather than through schools. Click to find links to several such organisations in Billund. All sites are in Danish, but don’t hesitate to contact the clubs directly – they are very welcoming and speak English!

Exams in Middle School at ISB

In the eyes of the Danish school authorities, ISB is an exam free school, as students do not sit for the official public school exams. The same is true for many other private and independent schools in Denmark that follow an international or alternative curriculum.

Students at ISB sit for official IB MYP exams that grant direct access to the IB Diploma Programme (DP) – for instance at the nearby Kolding Gymnasium, one of the other 15 Danish high schools offering the DP, or at an IB school abroad.

Students graduating from ISB also have access to the Danish upper secondary school system. There are several ways to qualify, and the Danish educational authorities direct the conditions for this procedure.
