Hi Pelagia,
I don't have any information, though I've been thinking recently of looking into what it takes to start an International School, since a student brought to my attention that there is a huge waiting list for the two existing…

Hi Pelagia,
I'm sorry to say I do not have any helpful tips to share. I followed a few leads shared below by Pernille Rasmussen, but I came up empty. This diminished our interest and I have not pursued an international move lately.
I do know…

I'm afraid I can't help much on this one, as I have found it fairly difficult to find teaching work here. I can only suggest that you write to all the schools here. Its fairly straightforward to find them on the net, though it…

- Hi Pelagia,
I don't have any information, though I've been thinking recently of looking into what it takes to start an International School, since a student brought to my attention that there is a huge waiting list for the two existing ones.
I'm in a lightly populated area of Denmark, though a few key industries are out here.
I wish you luck in your pursuit of relocating, and would be happy to meet up if you do move here.
Cheers,
Claudia

I do know that when I lived in Denmark in the 1990s it was surprisingly easy to get a work permit as well as an extended residence visa, but that may have changed.
I encourge you to keep looking.
I found Denmark to be a great place to live. While Denmark is expensive, the Danes enjoy a high standard of living enviable by many.
Good luck.
Scott

Good luck with it all!
