Vision and Philosophy

Odense International School aims to provide high-quality international education in English for children ages 5–16. We are a certified Cambridge International Examinations Centre.

We believe in enquiry-based learning and active students whose learning needs, both socially and academically, are met by dedicated and professional staff.

OIS respects and operates according to the Danish Ministry of Education’s laws and guidelines. The Scandinavian education system takes a holistic approach to education by combining academic learning and personal growth.

We believe in providing students with a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment. 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 backgrounds against the backdrop of Danish culture and other cultures.

OIS links families and students with our school community as well as the local community. We aim to demonstrate kindness, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service.
