Aarhus International School (AIS) is a centrally located day school in Denmark’s second-largest city, serving students from age 3 to 16. As an authorized IB World School, AIS delivers the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) entirely in English. The school recently transitioned to its unified "One Campus" at Dalgas Avenue, featuring dedicated science labs, a sports hall, and specialized rooms for performing arts and design technology. A distinctive feature of AIS is its integrated Forest & Ecology Club, which utilizes the school's proximity to the Marselisborg forest to foster environmental connection. Multilingualism is a core pillar; while English is the primary language, all students study Danish, and the school hosts unique Home Language clubs for over 15 different native tongues, including Mandarin, Hindi, and Spanish. This ensures students maintain their cultural identity while transitioning into the international education system.
