Introduction
International School of Kalundborg (ISK) opens in August 2025 as a free bilingual municipal school for ages 5 to 15. The curriculum combines the Cambridge framework for subjects like Mathematics and Science, which are taught in English, with the Danish national curriculum for subjects such as Danish, Physical Education, and Art. Situated on the Herredsåsen School campus, students have shared access to a makerspace, science laboratories, and an art studio. For physical activities, students utilize the “Spiralen” movement house and municipal swimming pools. A distinguishing feature of ISK is its integration with local Danish students through a shared SFO (after-school care) program, explicitly supporting intercultural socialization. By partnering with local recreational clubs and the Kalundborg Music School, ISK physically connects its students to the surrounding community while preparing them for continued education in Denmark or abroad.
International School Kalundborg has instruction in English, Danish.
