Henriette Hørlücks School, established in 1870, has a proud tradition for providing an international learning environment and early language teaching. Children with backgrounds from more than 40 nations attend our school and exam results are among Denmark’s top ten annually. Odense International School is run by the International Department at Henriette Hørlücks School. We not only seek to assist students in achieving academic excellence, but we also aim to provide them with a safe and including learning environment which encourages awareness of global issues and a natural curiosity for enquiry.

Our sometimes quirky, but beautiful and homely, physical environment reflects the idea that the path to discovery could start anywhere: in front of a sculpture on your way to class or with wonderment over a stuffed wild boar on the grand piano at morning assembly. Our teachers recognise the value of providing students with opportunities to make discoveries in their lessons. Teaching is enquiry-based, skills-focused and founded on Cambridge International Examinations’ recommendations.

A Holistic Approach

Odense International School respects and operates according to the Danish Ministry of Education’s laws and guidelines. The Scandinavian education system takes a holistic approach to education through combining academic learning and personal growth. Curriculum planning takes into account the need to explore the local environment, while also offering global perspectives. Students are given the opportunity to explore their own cultural background against the backdrop of Danish culture and other cultures.
