Skt. Josefs Skole began in 1904 when a small group of French nuns, known as The Daughters of Wisdom came to Roskilde. Over a hundred years later, in 2012, a new chapter in the history of Skt. Josefs Skole began with the establishment of the International Department.
Skt. Josef’s International School was established to support the increasing need for an international school in Roskilde. The school provides an international education for children aged 5 to 16 based on the Cambridge International system. Currently we have children of expatriates, children of mixed couples, Danish children who have lived abroad with their parents and Danes wanting an international education, attending Skt. Josef’s International school.

Refundable Deposit: (two-months fees)
There is a two-month refundable deposit payable when starting in the International Department. The deposit will be refunded in full, once all outstandings have been cleared when a student is leaving, and after receiving a two-month notice of withdrawal. The introduction of this deposit is in response to increased pressure on school places and to help us ensure that we are given adequate notice of withdrawal from the students to ensure we can forecast and plan appropriately.

70 DKK for 2nd child at school
80 DKK for 3rd child at school

A sibling discount is provided for children of the same family and living at the same address. The discount is allocated automatically, such that the eldest child is number 1, next eldest is child number 2 etc.

Obtaining a grant is based on means testing.
