Pre-IB Application

The Pre-IB Programme

The Pre-IB course is a one-year preparatory course aimed at Danish and international students who wish to continue in the IB Diploma Programme . The Pre-IB is equivalent to “1.g” in the Danish high school (STX) system. Admission requirements are the Danish 9th or 10th grade leaving exams from “Folkeskolen” or equivalent international exams. In some cases Pre-IB applicants will need to take an admission test in English and/or Mathematics and/or Science.

To apply for the Pre-IB Programme, please fill in the two online application forms below. The deadline for applications is 1st March 2025. If you wish to apply for a space at the boarding school (Stenhus Housing) please indicate this on the Pre-IB application form and please fill in the Stenhus Housing application form, which you can find here:

Students applying must upload two application forms: Firstly, students should fill in the online Pre-IB application form (see link above) and attach all the requested documents. Before filling in the application form, please read the Pre-IB programme and subject information on the Pre-IB page of the website in order to be able to make qualified choices in the languages (German, French or Spanish), in the Creative Subjects (Visual Arts or Film), and in Chemistry or Business Economics.

Secondly, students should apply through Optagelse.dk between 15th January 2025 and 1st March 2025. As this online application system is currently in Danish only, Danish IB schools have put together an English guide. We have also provided an (unofficial) translation of the parental consent form that needs to be uploaded if digital signature is not possible with the Danish NemID/MitID. Please find both below.

Please note that the admissions process gives priority to applicants who have indicated in Optagelse.dk that Pre-IB at Stenhus Gymnasium is their first choice/priority school. In accordance with guidelines from the Ministry of Children and Education, applicants will be advised of admissions decisions no later than May 2025.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
