All citizens in Denmark over the age of 15 will get access to a digital mailbox where they can receive and file all their important mail in one secure place. In Denmark, both public and private organisations send important messages via digital mail and people therefore have an obligation to check their digital mailbox regularly.

To get access to your digital mail, you need to have a NemID. Contact your local citizen centre (borgerservice) for more information if you need help using or accessing your digital mail.

Primary educational support

In the Primary School, educational support is arranged according to the needs of the students and is the decision of the class teachers and the Educational Support Co-ordinator. This support can be arranged in the classroom, within the lesson, outside the classroom individually, in pairs or small groups, and across different year group levels e.g. P5EN with P4EN pupils. Pupils are normally in small groups of 2-4 students with a similar need. Special circumstances could mean they have one-on-one support.

The priority of needs is L1 followed by Maths and L2 and it is recommended that a pupil only receives Educational Support in one subject. All forms of support should be considered as progressive, since they are based on meeting the pupil’s needs, which may vary over time.

Following an assessment in November 2020, the school was awarded the Municipality's environmental certification (miljøcertificering). More information to come.

The European Baccalaureate (EB) is a bilingual educational diploma, which certifies the completion of secondary studies in a European School or Accredited European School.

It is officially recognised as an entry qualification for higher education in all EU member states as well as in a number of other countries. All participating countries are legally obligated to ensure EB diploma holders enjoy the same rights and benefits of other holders of secondary school leaving certificates in their countries.

You can read more about the EB here and on the school's website: https://europaskolen.sag.dk/upper-secondary/

Europe Day is marked 9 May every year to celebrate peace and unity in Europe. As citizens living in Europe, we celebrate this day with an assembly.

The European Schools are official educational establishments controlled jointly by the governments of the Member States of the European Union with a common educational structure and syllabus.

The first official European School opened in Luxembourg in 1957 on initiative of officials from the EU (then the European Coal and Steel Community) and today there 14 traditional European Schools in 7 different countries and 9 accredited schools in other member states. Originally the European Schools were established for children of personnel of European Union institutions, but in 2005 it was decided to open up the system and allow member states to establish European Schools, which could be accredited by the European Schools Board of Governors.

Consequently, there are two types of European Schools:

Type 1 schools are the original schools associated with the large EU institutions and agencies in Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland and the UK. There are 14 Type 1 schools.

Type 2 schools are the accredited schools in cities, where there are EU agencies. Type 2 schools are national schools but they teach according to the European Schools curriculum and the pupils sit the same exams as the pupils in type 1 schools. At the moment there are ten type 2 schools in eight different countries but more are in the planning stage.

The European School Copenhagen is a type 2 European School. See more information under Accredited European School.

In Denmark, extra-curricular activities are usually organised by clubs and organisations outside school. Children can attend after school care , after school club (fritidsklub) or "youth school" (ungdomsklub) or they may participate in all kinds of leisure activities such as sports, scouts, music, theatre or art. The Municipality of Copenhagen also organises mother tongue tuition at different locations around the City of Copenhagen and various after school activities through Musikskolen, Billedskolen, etc.

Due to a strong wish from parents, the European School Copenhagen has previously helped organise a School Choir and some of the parents have organised Chess and Danish as a second language lessons. Parents who wish to organise extra-curricoular activities at the school are encouraged to speak with the Parents Association. See more information under Use of school facilities.
