The primary language of the school is English with a strong emphasis on Danish. The core subjects of IPC, Literacy, and Math occur in English as well the Wellbeing special. All other specials, Kunst (Art), Musik (Music), and Idræt (Physical Education) occur mostly in Danish.

VIS offers a learning environment that enables students, whose primary language is not English, to acquire the social and academic language needed to participate fully in all aspects of school life and to reach their maximum potential. We offer an English as Additional Language program for students with little or no English as well as, literacy instruction focused on their current English understanding. Students new to Danish join our Danish as an Additional language (Dansk som andetsprog) program. Students are assessed on entry and then on an ongoing basis until they reach the required level to exit the English or Danish additional language programs. There is no additional cost for participating in either program.

When applying mark the areas about PPR and provide us with documentation about your child’s needs. We can meet many mild to moderate needs and will keep an open dialogue with parents and the Ballerup PPR team about how to best meet your child’s needs. It is imperative that parents partner with us in this and inform us accurately of needs.

We offer both before school care known as Morning Club and After School Care known as After School Club. Additionally, every semester new Extra-Curricular Clubs run. To find out more about both options read here

We do not have a school uniform. Instead we ask that all learners come in clothing that is appropriate to the weather and can handle the activities of school. Meaning that it can get dirty during play, allows for easy movement in the classroom, and is warm/cool enough to match the weather. We do wear indoor shoes inside so please make sure that your child has these.

Students bring their own lunches and snacks. We do not provide warm up or cool down services. We recommend for families that want to keep the food cool to put it in a lunchbox that has a cooling element. After School Club food is prepared as part of ASC and that is always warm or cool depending on the food.
