About the school
Copenhagen is a dynamic and growing city which needs to attract and retain a specialised international workforce.
The City of Copenhagen established the Â鶹Դ´ in 2014 to provide more international school places in Copenhagen. It was furthermore established to give opportunities for a broader group of international employees and parents wanting to offer their children an international schooling without having to pay the relatively high cost of the existing international schools in the greater Copenhagen Area.
Organisation
Â鶹Դ´ is an accredited Â鶹Դ´. Â鶹Դ´ works within the frames established by the Board of Governors of the Â鶹Դ´s, Accredited Â鶹Դ´s (AES), The Ministry of Children and Education as well as the City of Copenhagen.
The Board of Â鶹Դ´ establishes principles for the school’s activities, including the school’s vision, values, objectives and budgets.
The management team consists of Director Øzkan Güleryüz, Deputy Director of Primary and Lower Secondary Helle Degn, Deputy Head of Upper Secondary Hans Bolvinkel, Head of Lower Secondary Madelaine Pippa Kirk, Head of Primary Rikke Groth Nielsen, and Head of After School Care Laura Mackenzie.

Vision, mission, and values
The vision of Â鶹Դ´ has been developed together with Sankt Annæ Gymnasium:
We educate to instil insight and a global mindset.
We create the future voices of the world.
The school’s values – Respect, Commitment, Collaboration, Responsibility, Curiosity and Empathy – were decided in 2017 following a consultative process with the staff, parents, pupils and Board.
