Parent's Review of Bjorn in Hellerup, Denmark

What is the name of your child's school? (Please report on one school per survey.)

Bjorn

In what town or city is this school located?

Hellerup

How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)

International

What grade levels are represented at this school?

8th

How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)

car, train or bus

How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?

There are no extra curricular activities

What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?

Nothing is done to help your child's transition, it is left up to parents to help prepare them for exams etc. Expect nothing and you will not be disappointed.

How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?

There are a panel of parent representatives but they are Danish with a token English rep

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

Beware of smiling head mistresses, they deceive. None of the international schools are good, but this one pretends to be something it is not. There is no equity for your children and I would advice any parent thinking of putting there child into education in Denmark, to think again. This is not a good school.
