Campus Vedersø
The International is part of Campus Vedersø. We share facilities with our Danish sister sports school Vedersø Idrætsefterskole.
There is a full programme of Campus Events and activities that are arranged for both schools, so that students can mix and mingle with each other every week. This offers further opportunities to learn about Danish Efterskole traditions and for Danish students to meet international students from all around the world.
Will you be ready for Prom, Harvest Festival, Cheeseburger Bingo, Halloween, Christmas and more?
THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
TOP-CLASS FACILITIES
Combine and explore many different profile and elective subjects from sports, creative and cultural pursuits, in our unique international learning and training facilities.
BEAUTIFUL NATURE
West Jutland is home to the North Sea, a wild and rugged coastline of dunes and unspoilt beaches as well as swimming lakes, fields and woodland right on the school's doorstep. It is the backdrop to daily life at the school and we embrace nature all year round, taking advantage of all the activities in the fresh air that we can enjoy during the changing seasons.
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
Join the world's best international community for board game nights, music quizzes, mini-concerts, bingo nights, sports tournaments, festivals, prom nights and more.
CAMBRIDGE IGCSE
Internationally recognised academic curriculUm and exams
At The International - Danmarks Internationale Efterskole, we offer Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) for students 14-17 years old. The curriculum varies within each subject, but is generally equivalent to 10th grade studies in Denmark.
We offer 8 different academic subjects at a high academic level, preparing students for further education, which is taught in English.
In addition, you may tailor your timetable to suit your passions, hobbies or your desire to try something new from one of our 6 Profile Electives, which take place up to four times per week, or from our wide range of sports, creative and cultural electives which take place once per week and rotate throughout the year.

INTERNATIONAL IN EVERY WAY
The International - Danmarks Internationale efterskole is a place where you can truly meet your world. Not only through our World Study trips and Partner Exchange programme, but in every day student life too: when you are in your rooms with your international roomies, eating lunch or dinner in the dining hall with students from all over the globe or being taught by one of our international teaching staff. There is the opportunity to live, study and travel in a multinational environment and learn about the Danish traditions which underpin the essence of Efterskole life, here at The International.
This is your chance to learn how to become a global citizen - understanding your responsibility to respect and operate harmoniously with other cultures - right here from the natural beauty of West Jutland in Denmark, on Campus Vedersø.
At The International, you can meet your world.

CAN't MAKE IT TO EFTERSKOLERNES DAG? THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO VISIT US.
- OPEN HOUSE
Many times a year we host an Open House event when we open our doors to visitors. The concept is similar to Efterskolernes dag but it is a more intimate experience with less visitors and a bit more time to talk with our team. Booking is essential for Open House events. View our upcoming Open House Events and book here.
- BOOK A PRIVATE SHOW ROUND
Perhaps you are in Denmark for work or holiday? If you have the opportunity to visit The International in West Jutland during your stay in Denmark then get in touch. We are always happy to take private show rounds whenever we have availability. To arrange this option, please contact us on: info@theinternational.dk to book a time and date that fits wtih your plans.
- VIRTUAL SHOW ROUND & MEETING
With students enquiring from all over the world, it is only natural that many of our show rounds take place online. We have welcomed many prospective families and students in this way and it offers a great opportunity to see the school, talk with our team, discuss your requirements and answer your questions. Just like our physical show rounds, the virtual tour will be led by one of our students so that you can see the facilities. This will be followed by a talk with one of our teaching staff. To set up a virtual tour and meeting, please contact us on info@theinternational.dk to book a time. We use the online platform Microsoft Teams for these meetings.
