WALDORF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF COPENHAGEN

- The International Department of Byens Steinerskole

Welcome to a unique educational experience where your child can thrive in a holistic, mobile-free environment.

At our school, we believe in nurturing all aspects of your child’s development, creativity, physical well-being, and respect for the world around them. Our curriculum is inspired by the Waldorf approach and aligned with the requirements of the Ministry of Children and Education.
We offer a balanced education that values art, physical activity, and practical skills as much as maths and literacy.

We are proud to welcome children from all cultural and religious backgrounds, creating a diverse and inclusive community where every child can learn with head, heart, and hands.

Teaching for the mind, heart and hand

Waldorf International School Copenhagen is an independent school, approved by the Ministry of Children and Education. The school is recognized to have an international department, where the language of instruction is English.
Approval is granted if the school or one of its divisions primarily caters to children with foreign parents, who live in Denmark and remain in Denmark for a shorter space of time.

We welcome children from all over the world, regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds.

The distinguishing feature of our school is our holistic educational approach: Physical education, handicrafts, the arts, and respect for the natural world and each other are of equal importance to proficiency in mathematics and literacy. This balanced educational approach is what we call learning with head, heart, and hands.

Our teaching and curriculum are based on the Waldorf curriculum, but also fulfill the requirements and goals set by the Ministry of Children and Education. This means that the learning objectives of the curriculum are in line with the education provided in a Danish public school.
