Lolland International School

What Lolland International School does

Lolland International School is Denmark's first and only international public school (Folkeskole), operated by Lolland Municipality under the Danish KIG law (Kommunale Internationale Grundskoler) and located in Maribo, Lolland. The school was established in 2021 to serve international and Danish families in the region, with demand anchored by the Fehmarnbelt tunnel construction project expected to bring over 5,000 jobs per year to the area. Its core academic offering is a dual-curricula, dual-immersion bilingual program covering Grades 0-9: students receive roughly half of their subjects in English (Cambridge International Education curriculum for English, Mathematics, and Science) and the other half in Danish (Danish national curriculum). Students sit Cambridge Checkpoint 9 written exams, Cambridge Progression Tests, and mock exams for Grades 3-9, and the school shares a campus with Maribo Gymnasium, which has launched a "Global Studies" international line extending the bilingual pathway above Grade 9.

The school's supporting product surface includes before-school care (Morning SFO from 6:30), after-school care (Afternoon SFO at Blæsenborg School), a Junior Klub for Grades 4-6, a Youth Club for Grades 7+, and a Spring School (Førskole) early-start program running April through June. Operational partnerships supply an international teaching pipeline — University College Absalon places student teachers, Erasmus+ hosts newly qualified teachers, and ICYE provides 6-12 month youth volunteers — while the AULA platform is the primary school-home communication channel.

Lolland International School is a publicly funded municipal institution; it does not charge tuition and generates no commercial revenue. It is owned and operated by Lolland Municipality, governed by a School Board of parent, staff, and student representatives, and operates under bylaws originally adopted by Lolland Municipality's City Council on 25 March 2021 with subsequent revisions in January 2023 and August 2025.
