What are your target groups?
The target group of School Level Danish is Danish children and teenagers aged 6-17 who attend international schools either inside or outside of Denmark. Some of our students are bilingual (because only one parent is Danish) while other students live abroad and speak Danish at home.
What is my child’s grade level?
All new students receive a complimentary Danish skill test, and their results, age and prior education are used to determine the appropriate grade level.
For non-members we can perform this test for a fee of DKK 500.
How can my child take the Graduation Cartificate Exam?
Grade 9 students can take the official Graduation Certificate exam in Danish by attending our annual Summer School where examinations are conducted by our teachers, and supervised by an examiner appointed by the Danish Ministry of Education.
How do you ensure the quality of instruction?
The content and aim of School Level Danish is in alignment with the Danish Ministry of Education’s official guidelines and goals for Danish education. This ensures a high instructional quality.
Who are your professional partners?
We collaborate directly with the Ministry of Education and exchange experiences with other providers of online instruction around the world.
Must my child speak Danish in order to take the online courses?
Yes. The content and instructional materials of School Level Danish are entirely in Danish without any English translations or subtitles. Because of this, your child must possess at least a basic level of skill in spoken and written Danish in order to benefit from School Level Danish.
Can we carry on with the program if we move?
Yes. Many of our students live abroad and travel from country to country with their parents. School Level Danish can be used as a focal point for students who frequently change schools, and our teaching ensures that your child’s relationship to Denmark and Danish is continuously sustained and developed. School Level Danish also helps to ensure that your child can return to (or enter) the Danish educational system if they should wish to do so.

Recommended devices
Computers:
- PC: Windows 10 or later
- Mac: Apple OS X
Tablets:
- iPad, iPad Mini, and iPad Pro
Not Recommended:
- iPhones:
While they can be used (similar to iPads), we do not recommend them due to the very small screen size. - Android, Windows, and Kindle mobile devices:
We cannot guarantee full functionality on these devices. However, you are welcome to try our free demos to check if your Android/Windows/Kindle mobile device supports our products.
Additionally, we recommend a minimum screen size of 7.9” (20×13.4 cm).
Browsers and software
To participate in the courses, an updated version of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari is required. We cannot guarantee full functionality on Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Opera, or any other browser (mobile or desktop) not mentioned here.
We do not recommend using the Canvas app, as all our products must be accessed through a browser.
Microphone and camera
All our products require the use of a microphone and camera for assignments and/or voice synchronization.
Most microphones, whether external or built-in, are sufficient. Mobile cameras can be used for recording and uploading if a webcam is not available on the device typically used for accessing the courses.
Keyboard
We recommend using a keyboard with a Danish layout, which includes the built-in Ææ, Øø, and Åå keys.
If a keyboard with a Danish layout is not available, the following options can be considered:
- Mobile Devices (Phones, Tablets):
The keyboard can be switched to Danish. The Danish keyboard layout must be downloaded and installed beforehand.
- PC/Mac:
An on-screen keyboard can be used (allowing you to click on Æ, Ø, or Å with the mouse).
- Alternative Input:
Using “ae,” “oe,” and “aa” as substitutes for Æ, Ø, and Å is also acceptable. However, we do not recommend this approach, as it diminishes a significant part of the learning experience.
Geo-blocking
It may be necessary to use a VPN connection to access the course materials due to geo-blocking.
