Starting School
Children that are born in 2019 are due to start school in Spring School in April 2025 followed by school proper, Grade 0, in August 2025. Contact the school to get more information and arrange for an enrolment interview. There is only a limited number of spaces available for Spring School and Grade 0. Places for Spring School and Grade 0 are offered before 1 October 2024.
Spring School (førskole)
Children that are to start school in August for the first time, have the opportunity to start in the Spring School (førskole) from the 1st April.
Spring school is Lolland International School’s early school start program, otherwise known as ‘førskole’ in Danish. It runs from April through to the end of June. The aim for Spring School is to give the children the best possible start to school by familiarising them with their new school setting, the people, routines, and expose them to two languages, so they are ready for Grade 0 in August. When children know and understand their surroundings, it gives them security and a sense of belonging.
Moving from day care/kindergarten/børnehave is a big step. The children will go from being the oldest back to being the youngest; they will move from an environment where they mostly get free choice of activities into one with more structure. In addition, our school is a bilingual school, so large portions of the day will be in Danish, English or both, and this could be something new. There will be a lot of new things to see and do, and change can be difficult, so we want to make this transition as smooth as possible.
