About The Cosmo
The Cosmo – The International School of Southern Denmark is a newly started international department under Kolding Realskole founded in 1880.
Firstly, we are a certified Cambridge International Examination Centre which means that the University of Cambridge has set out stringent standards that our school has met for educating children from the ages of 5-16. http://www.cie.org.uk
A huge benefit afforded by our Cambridge status is that transfers are seamless to other Cambridge institutions, other international programmes and most North American curricula.
Students study Math, English, Science, Social Science (a combination of history and geography), Physical Education, Art and Music. School hours range daily but are typically from 08.00-13.45.
After school care is offered at an additional cost until 17.00 should it be required. http://www.thecosmo.dk/p406.asp.
Secondly, we are a department under Kolding Realskole, a private school in operation since 1880. Kolding Realskole is where parents send their children when they wish a higher level of education than is typically offered at Danish public schools. The Cosmo has support both academically from the Realskole and the teaching expertise of educators from all across the globe.
All teachers at The Cosmo – The International school of Southern Denmark – native speakers exempted – have taken an English proficiency course and have passed a proficiency exam at The Cambridge.
Thirdly, at The Cosmo we celebrate a diverse range of cultures. This year we celebrate both Danish special days and holidays of other countries such as Halloween, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and the 4th of July. http://www.thecosmo.dk/p355.asp.
Fourthly, The Cosmo – The International School of Southern Denmark is situated in Kolding in the Triangle Region in Southern Denmark. It is located on the main 4 lane highway (Interstate type) travelling in both North/South as well as East/West directions.
The students come form most of Southern Denmark, i.e. Kolding, Frederica, Middelfart, Vejle, Billund, Horsens, Esbjerg and Odense, and transportation subsidies for the children are also available from the school should you be living in a location other than Kolding.
