Birkerød Gymnasium

Joining the school

The programmes serve different educational goals. Confirm the appropriate entry route, previous qualifications and language requirements for IB, STX or HF before applying. Before accepting a place, confirm the entry year, assessment requirements and application timetable directly with admissions. A visit or enquiry is not a confirmed offer.

Language and learning support

The school describes a multilingual community and space for different backgrounds. This does not establish a specific English-support or specialist-learning service for every pupil. Discuss the child’s language background and any existing support plan before applying. Ask what help is available in lessons, how progress is reviewed and whether it carries an extra charge.

Teaching language depends on the route

The school describes STX and HF as Danish programmes and the International IB Diploma as an English programme. Choose the route first; English lessons within a Danish programme should not be mistaken for an English-medium curriculum.

The published age range is specific to IB

Birkerød states that its IB upper-secondary programme serves students aged 15 to 20. Pre-IB entrants must have turned 15 when they start in August; direct IB Diploma entrants must have turned 16. These IB details do not establish one age filter for the separate Danish STX and HF pathways.

Campus and daily life

Boarding and day attendance are both relevant to this school. Compare residential supervision, meals and travel with the timetable of the chosen upper-secondary programme. Confirm the exact teaching location for the chosen year group. Check the daily journey, meals and activity timetable; a whole-school facilities list may not apply equally to every stage.

Fees and the first-year budget

Ask the school for current annual tuition for your child’s year group. Request an itemised quotation covering tuition, registration, deposits and compulsory extras. Check payment dates and withdrawal terms. Compare the same academic year, grade and attendance pattern at each school.

Birkerød describes its international upper-secondary programme for ages 15–20, alongside separate Danish STX and HF routes. Taster visits include lessons and a meeting with a counsellor.

IB tuition and costs outside lessons

Birkerød’s IB Diploma Programme page explicitly states that no school fees are charged. It also says that books are provided, while students must bring a computer and calculator. Excursions, study trips, parties and graduation bring separate expenses. This statement concerns the IB programme described on that page; it is not a promise that boarding or all other costs are free.

Boarding is a separate paid service

The boarding finance page describes a separate monthly accommodation charge from August to June, covering rent, board and meals, utilities and internet; telephone costs are excluded. Laundry is charged separately, and students must have appropriate personal-belongings and accident insurance through their family or their own policy. Study trips and social events can add to the bill. Obtain a quote for the intended school year, household circumstances and boarding place before accepting an offer.
