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 “1g” in the Danish 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 March 1, 2024. If you wish to apply for a space at the boarding school please indicate this in the application form. Note that the deadline for applications including boarding requests is February 1, 2024. Please indicate on the Pre-IB application form that you are applying for a boarding school place. If your Pre-IB application is successful, further informational material about the boarding school will automatically be sent to you.
Students applying must send in two applications. Firstly, students should fill in the online Pre-IB application form 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.
Secondly, students should apply through Optagelse.dk between January 15, 2024 and March 1, 2024. As this online application system is currently in Danish only, the 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.
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 8, 2024.
