About the Project

Lolland Municipality established Lolland International School in 2020, opening its doors to students in August 2021. It is a free, public international school welcoming both Danish and international families.

The school offers a high-quality bilingual education, where lessons are taught in either English or Danish, depending on the subject.

The curriculum combines the Cambridge International Education framework with the Danish Ministry of Education standards, giving students a strong foundation in both languages and cultures.
In addition, the school runs an after-school programme (SFO) for children in Grades 0–3. The SFO is a space for play, creativity, and exploration, where children can engage in arts and crafts, role play, outdoor games, Lego building, and more. The activities are guided by adults trained in child development, ensuring a fun and supportive environment for learning through play.

Ulfborg

Accomodation

You will stay with a local host family, with a maximum commuting time of about one hour to the school.

Child Protection

Please note that you will be required to sign ICYE’s policy Care to Engage on Safeguarding Children.

Volunteer’s Tasks

As a volunteer, you will take part in a range of activities at the school and the SFO. You might assist in art, sports, or cooking classes, support English or Maths lessons, or help during before- and after-school activities. You will always work alongside teachers and staff – your role is to support and engage with the students, not to teach independently.

You are also encouraged to bring your own culture and creativity into the school! You might share songs, games, or simple words from your language, or introduce traditional dishes or customs – when it fits naturally into the lessons or school events.

Volunteering at Lolland International School is a chance to become part of an international learning community that celebrates diversity, curiosity, and shared experiences.
