Hej allesammen!
We are planning a year in Denmark from later this year. We have 2 kids, the eldest turning 6 around Christmas time.
I am contemplating the options we have for him entering school. Here in Australia he has commenced prep and is doing really well with his reading and maths already. I understand that at his age, he only just 'gets into' the first year at school there (even though by that stage he will be almost through his first year here), and I wonder how much point there is to sending him to an international school if he already has the basic literacy and numeracy skills that they might teach at that first year level. I'd like to ensure that he gets maximum opportunity to learn Danish and wonder if immersion at a local school would help him the most.
So I am wondering what the merits are of international school versus local danish school, and if the local danish school would be a feasible option for him? Can people share their experiences so that I can direct my research appropriately.
Tusind tak i forvejen!
