Applying for the established Secondary classes
Our Secondary department opened in August 2018 and now has a total of 18 classes from S1-S7 across three different language sections, English, Danish and Danish/French*. The classes are currently full, but we accept applications for ‘rolling admission’ in case spaces become available during the school year.
(*Danish language section with French L1/mother tongue students. Most subjects are taught in Danish, but L1 classes can be either Danish or French).
Applying for new Secondary classes
In August 2023, we will open a new Secondary 1 class. The aim is to open a French language section class but if we don’t get enough applicants to form a French language section class, we will establish a Danish language section class with French L1/mother tongue students. See more under admission to lower secondary.
We will also be opening two new S5 classes in the English and Danish language section. S5 corresponds to 1.g (the first year of Danish Gymnasium). See more information under admission to upper secondary.
