CIS has been accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges in the U.S. for the past thirty years. CIS is committed to excellence in the education and the personal growth of every student. Our students learn in a multicultural community where each person is respected regardless of nationality, race, or religion. Students discover the world, its people, and its cultures through direct experience. Through play, study, co-curricular activities and the relationships they form, students at CIS learn to appreciate their own strengths and to respect differences rather than fear them. Combined with academic rigor, this experience extends outside the classroom and equips students for success and global citizenship beyond school.
We take very seriously our mission that states that together at Copenhagen International School we are 'learning to build community' both locally and internationally.

How would you rate Copenhagen International School (CIS)?
Facilities are great, but the school does little to nothing about conflicts going around the school, one of my friends was forced to move schools after one of his fellow pupils broke his arm.
Copenhagen International School was one of the poorest experiences for myself and my family when it came to the adjustment of countries and education system. For a student who may struggle with mental health, social skills, or may be special needs, this school has no wiggle room to give your child any sort of accommodation or flexibility that one deserves. More importantly, myself and several other students have had several conflicts with administration and other students where they have all been disregarded and ignored. Students whose family/parents are financially wealthier and donate to school are shielded by the school and face little to no consequence for conflicts the children create. My parents were faced with social services after myself and another student had a conflict which was never resolved and the other student (whose mother was donating to the school) never faced any sort of repercussion. Any school who resorts to social services over a minor inconvenience is a school that does not value the child's outside life and would rather put the in school problem to an outside school provider.
Very bad experience at CIS. Very attractive facilities but very very poor staff and teachers. Quite concerned about financials and very little concern for the kids. Very bad choice
A good school is not only about have remarkable facilities, should be only about students and their education and social needs!
Before being introduced to CIS, I thought this (more expensive) school, would be my last choice, but after experiencing their excellence, I realised that it is 'the real thing' and worth every øre. Our son will forever reap the benefits of their excellent IB programme.
Bait and switch. This school has scholarship and they do not tell people how many scholarship they are giving . They pretty much gives everyone a 85% off tuition to "encourage" them to apply so that they can charge them a 2500DKK application fee. Then they will tell you that you do not get the scholarship but you can get in if you pay full price. I should have asked more about the scholarship before letting my child apply and I would not recommend anyone to this school.
all in all a great school

Management of the school since the move to Nordhavn has been shaky but my experience with the teachers was always good. Simply cooking wasn't the best either, but if you're not satisfied with the food at campus you can just make some at home and bring it to school. As a C.I.S alumni it's disappointing seeing so many negative reviews of the school when I personally had such a great time. My sincerest thanks to my high school teachers for pushing me and the rest of the class through the tough periods of the I.B and being there for support when we needed it, despite their schedules being so full. Unfortunately the I.B isn't for everyone and I had to learn that the hard way, but it isn't fair to blame the entire C.I.S staff for my results. I look back on my memories at C.I.S as some of my best times with great friends and outstanding teachers. Thank you C.I.S. Sincerely, Class of 2018.

Horrible school. Went there for 4 years and barely learnt anything. Most of the teachers only care about the smart kids so the ones that NEED help don’t actually get any help. Seriously even I.S.H. Is a better school then this, at least I learnt something in I.S.H.
