Application fees

- Hasseris Gymnasium & IB World School does not charge an application fee for PreIB or the two-year IB Diploma Programme; applications are submitted through the Danish national application system (optagelse.dk) and by returning the school's IB/PreIB application form as instructed.

Tuition fees (by school year / per term)

- There is no tuition fee for attending Hasseris Gymnasium (STX) or the PreIB / IB Diploma Programme for students who attend the publicly funded programme; attendance at Danish public upper-secondary schools is provided without tuition charges.

- Because tuition is not charged, there are no per-term or per-year tuition invoices for regular classroom instruction for any year group (1.g, 2.g, 3.g or IB1/IB2).

Mandatory or programme-specific charges (by year group / profile)

- 1.g language-week (sprogskoleophold): DKK 5,000 (one-week language-school trip). This cost is charged to 1.g participants.

- 2.g class study trip (stamklasse studietur): normally up to DKK 3,500 for travel and accommodation.

- Excursions during the two yearly excursion weeks: participation in excursions of up to 3 days normally costs up to DKK 1,000 per excursion.

- Internationalisation / special study-line charges (examples; these are charged in addition to regular attendance and are programme/profile specific):
- Global Science profile: DKK 25,000 (own-payment to cover travel activities).
- Global Politics / certain social-science travel profiles: typical own-payments in the range of DKK 17,000–26,000 depending on the chosen study profile and the trips included (examples published for different study-retninger include DKK 17,000; DKK 19,000; DKK 23,000; DKK 24,000; DKK 26,000). These sums cover travel, accommodation and the organised academic programme but do not normally cover personal spending, some meals, visas or vaccinations. Payments for these profiles are charged in instalments as described below.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Regular tuition is not billed because instruction is publicly funded; no termly tuition invoices are issued for classroom teaching.

- Charges for trips, study-line packages and other participant payments are invoiced when a student is enrolled in that optional activity or study profile. Several study-profile pages and the school's participant-payment policy state that profile/trip payments are payable in instalments or quarterly (rater / kvartalsrater) rather than a single up-front lump sum. For example, certain study-line fees are explicitly described as “betales i rater” or “betales i kvartalsrater.”

- Specific due dates and instalment amounts vary by trip/profile; the school invoices participants and provides the payment schedule for each trip or study-line at the time of enrolment in that activity.

Boarding / accommodation fees

- Boarding is not part of Hasseris Gymnasium's provision; Hasseris operates as a day upper-secondary school and does not list boarding or kostskole facilities as part of its programmes. Overnight travel and accommodation costs for excursions are charged as described above, but there is no ongoing boarding fee.

Other costs and recurring ancillary fees

- IT expectation: the school provides online dictionaries and calculators free of charge, but students are expected to have their own laptop. No regular technology fee is charged for all students.

- Travel-card / daily transport co-pay: pupils may obtain youth travel cards for bus/train travel; the published co-payment for a school-day youth card was shown as an example amount (e.g., DKK 13.16 per school day for one scheme referenced on the school FAQ). Transport payment arrangements (quarterly prepayment for youth travel cards) are handled separately from school tuition.

- Unspecified extras: costs that may fall on students include personal spending on trips, optional insurances, visa fees and vaccinations when these are required for a study trip. Several profile descriptions explicitly note that pocket money, some meals, visa and vaccination costs are not included in the profile fee and are the student's responsibility.

Refund information

- The school's participant-payment policy states that all excursions are voluntary where participant payment only covers certain items (forplejning etc.) and that students with documented need can seek financial support to participate. The participant-payment statement does not publish a universal, detailed refund schedule for cancelled trips; refunds and cancellations are handled according to the specific trip's terms and by the school's guidance for that activity. Parents and students may apply for financial support in cases of need.

Fee payment options and invoicing

- The school publishes its administrative identifiers used for invoicing (CVR and EAN numbers), indicating that invoicing and payment by bank transfer / municipality invoice processing are standard for institutional billing. For parent invoicing of participant payments, study-profile pages and participant-payment documents refer to invoicing and instalment arrangements rather than specifying card-payment channels; payment is therefore typically arranged by invoice (bank transfer) with instalment schedules where applicable.

Summary (what parents should expect)

- No application fee and no tuition fee for classroom instruction (publicly funded STX / PreIB / IB).
- Expect participant payments for trips, study-line internationalisation packages and optional activities; typical amounts range from modest excursion fees (up to DKK 1,000 per short excursion) to larger study-line packages (DKK 17,000–DKK 26,000) depending on the chosen profile. 1.g language-week and 2.g study trips have established fixed-range prices (DKK 5,000 for the 1.g language week; up to DKK 3,500 for the 2.g study trip).
- Participant payments are invoiced with specified instalment schedules for the relevant profile or trip; payment methods are processed by invoice (municipality/EAN or direct invoicing) with instalment options described on the programme pages.

(For administrative contact about invoices and payment schedules see the school's IB contact and general contact details.)

Curriculum

The school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) with a one-year PreIB preparatory class. The IB Diploma Programme is taught primarily in English and is a two-year program, with the PreIB class acting as a one-year prep option. The IB Diploma is recognized worldwide for university admissions, and in Denmark it is accepted for admission to higher education on equal terms with STX, HHX and HTX. About 170 students from many countries participate in the IB program.

Higher Education Progression

The IB Diploma is recognized worldwide as a university admissions credential, and in Denmark it is accepted for admission to higher education on equal terms with STX, HHX and HTX.

Gifted and Talented

The school has a Science and Talent certificate from ScienceTalenter and participates in Nordjyske Gymnasiers Talent Akademi.

Admissions

The IB Diploma Programme is a two-year programme taught in English. Direct admission to the 2-year IB Diploma Programme is possible if you have completed the equivalent of 11 years of schooling in another system, for example the first year of the Danish Upper Secondary School Leaving Examination (stx), or have equivalent qualifications such as MYP5 or at least five passed IGCSE subjects with grade C or above. Math, English, History and two science subjects (or Coordinated Science) are expected as part of the IGCSE. If IGCSE results are not issued until August after IB1 begins, Hasseris Gymnasium may transfer IGCSE graduates from IB1 to PreIB if results are unsatisfactory. Admission is considered individually; applicants should have high English proficiency, a solid Math foundation, and submit a short personal statement. In some cases admission tests in Math, English and general scientific method may be required. If entrance requirements for the IB Diploma Programme are not met, you can enroll in PreIB, a one-year English-taught preparatory course. PreIB requires Danish 9th or 10th grade leaving exams or equivalent international exams with final exams in Math, English, History and at least two sciences; some cases require admission tests. Completing PreIB satisfactorily leads to direct transfer to the IB Diploma Programme. Generally, applicants are aged 15–18. Applications: PreIB applicants apply through optagelse.dk; the 2026–27 deadline was March 1, 2026; late applicants should contact the IB coordinator. For the 2-year IB programme, apply through optagelse.dk and download the IB1 application form; deadline was March 1, 2026; late applicants should contact the IB Coordinator. If applying from abroad without Danish parents, a guardian in Aalborg or nearby is required. IB Diploma Application Form (2026–2027) and PreIB Application Form (2026–2027) are available. How to apply: fill in the form and send it via the secure email service; for questions contact IB-coordinator Karin Skals (Head of IB Department, IB Coordinator). Tel 96327110; ks@hasseris-gym.dk.

Curriculum

Cambridge International Examinations underpin the curriculum. Education is offered up to Cambridge IGCSE level (Year 11). Cambridge Checkpoint exams are taken at the end of Stage 9 to assess progress in English, Mathematics, and Science. To pass the Cambridge IGCSE, students sit at least seven exams including two languages, mathematics, one or more science subjects, and either Information Technology or Food and Nutrition. Distinction means at least five A grades, Merit means at least five C grades, and Pass means at least seven passes. A year-by-year record of IGCSE results is published, and 2020 results were not published due to the Covid lockdown.

Exam Results

Cambridge International Examinations results are shown for Stage 11 (IGCSE) with counts of Distinction, Merit, and Pass by year; 2022 records show multiple Merit and Pass outcomes and no Distinctions in that year, while earlier years also show Distinction and Merit results. Checkpoint exam results are shown for Stage 6 (end of Year 9) as average scores in English, Maths, and Science; there were no Checkpoint results published for 2020 due to Covid-19. The page provides a year-by-year breakdown of outcomes, including a note that 2020 results were not published due to Covid lockdown.

Higher Education Progression

Skipper Clement International offers international education up to IGCSE level (Year 11). After Year 11, students move on to one of the Gymnasiums in Denmark, or into other forms of education. In Denmark, some Gymnasiums offer the International Baccalaureate in English; the closest is Hasseris Gymnasium IB.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school provides a safe environment that supports the personal and academic development of students. The school is bilingual, delivering Danish and English, to support diverse families. The school upholds values of respect, responsibility, commitment, creativity, high standards, and accountability. The school promotes citizenship, democracy, freedom of expression, responsibility, and tolerance through its programmes. A No Bullying Policy and a Student Contract underpin safe and respectful student conduct. Home–School Co-operation and Equal Opportunities policies support a positive, inclusive learning environment.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Support for learning is available when requested by the student, guardian, or teacher, with an assessment by the SPU Coordinator to diagnose learning difficulties. English as a second language support is available in small groups a couple of times a week for students who lack English, with immersion in the classroom. Danish as a second language support provides a second teacher for Danish language lessons to help students who cannot follow the main Danish programme through small-group teaching. Diagnosed learning difficulties such as dyslexia lead to an Individual Learning Programme developed with parents and teachers, with options including guidance, aids, differentiation, co-teaching or an intensive course. If needs are severe, students can be referred to Aalborg Kommune's PPR service for additional help, but as a private school we do not routinely provide specialist extra lessons; discuss needs at the interview.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English as a second language support is available when needed. If a student struggles due to lack of English, they may join a support group a couple of times a week. Most children absorb English through total immersion in the classroom once they have a basic language structure. The school does not provide individual English lessons to all students who could benefit. The school is bilingual in Danish and English.

Mental Wellbeing

Skipper Clement Skolen provides a safe and caring environment for students. A No Bullying Policy and a culture of respect and responsibility support students' social and emotional wellbeing. The school values respect, responsibility, commitment, creativity, high standards, and accountability to foster positive relationships. Home-School Co-operation policies underpin engagement and supportive environments for learners. The school is bilingual and inclusive, celebrating cultural diversity to contribute to overall wellbeing.

Safeguarding

The school bases safeguarding on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and seeks to cultivate peace, tolerance, freedom, equality, and solidarity. The No Bullying Policy and Student Contract underpin safe and respectful conduct within the school community. The school maintains an Open Door policy for recruitment and admissions, and ensures accessibility for diverse students and families. Data Protection Policy governs how personal data is collected, stored, and used to protect students and families. The school emphasizes Home-School Co-operation and Equal Opportunities to safeguard inclusive learning and safety.

Admissions

Step 1: Waiting List. Complete an application form for each child you want to enrol at Skipper Clement. Your details will be added to the waiting list and used only to process your application. When a place might be available, you will be asked to take the next steps. Step 2: Assessment. The purpose is to determine whether Skipper Clement can meet your child's needs and to outline what the school can offer. Skipper Clement may not be the right option for every child; for example, there is not a nurse on site every day to administer daily medication. You may be asked to attend an Information Evening (for Stage 1 and some Danish classes), to have an interview with a Department Head, or to provide additional information about your child. In some cases, Stage 10 and Stage 11 applicants may complete an entry test. Step 3: Offer. When we are confident we can offer a suitable place in the right class, you will receive an offer of a place. You will then be asked to pay a registration fee and a deposit if starting in the following school year, and to sign a contract. The information in the contract is used to enter your family into our school system and to provide a good service.

Waitlist

Waiting List: There is a waiting list for enrolment. To join, complete an application form for each child; your details are added to the waiting list and used only to process your application. When a place is likely, you will be contacted to take next steps as required.
