Enrolment policy and priority criteria
Before a place can be offered, a registration form needs to be completed. Registration fee for the waiting pool is 500 DKK.
Please note, completing this form is not a guarantee of a place.
Important information regarding enrolment:
It is at all times the parent’s responsibility to ensure that the contact details, such as email addresses and telephone numbers are updated. Changes should be sent to info@sjs-roskilde.dk
An offer of a place will be made according to our enrolment policy and priority criteria. Offers may be made throughout the year:
1st Priority – Catholic families *
2nd Priority – Siblings, which already attend school, as well as children of staff. We will do our best to offer a place to a sibling, however, there is no guarentee that a space will be available.
3rd Priority – Returning students and children that have previously attended international schools or international kindergartens
4th Priority – Matters pertaining to the 'balance and international feel' of a class such as gender, nationality, age of students, and special needs. Date of registration.
We base our offers on the above-mentioned criteria as well as looking at the distribution of girls and boys, age, and nationalities in each individual class. Our main aim is to offer a balanced class with an international feel.
If your child is a Danish citizen attending a Danish school /‘daginstitution’, or your child has only ever attended a Danish school, please register with the Danish Department.
• Initial year group placement is determined on the basis of age and relevant student history.
• Children must have turned 5 years before the 1st September to be able to start in Year 1, and (in most cases) must not be older than 6 years.
• We do not inform you of your staus in the waiting-pool, as this can cause unnecessary expectations, especially as the waiting-pool is dynamic and can change regularly when the above criteria are applied.
• We run two separate waiting lists at Skt. Josef’s. One for the International Department, the ‘waiting-pool’ and one for the Danish Department. It is possible to put a child down on both lists, but this would require two separate enrolments. An offer of a place in one department cannot be transferred to another department.
• After you complete the registration, you will receive a confirmation email. The school will contact you when a space is available where you will be invited in for an interview or offered a place.
• *If your child/children are baptized Catholic, and you would like for the school to know this information, you can send a copy of the baptismal certificate to info@sjs-roskilde.dk
Please note, that after you have enrolled into our waiting pool, we will contact you, when a space becomes available.
