Description

What makes a Danish school... Danish? This week, return guest Ilana Bull—an international school teacher and parent—joins Derek and Brooke to explore how school systems in Denmark reflect much more than just academics. From class structure to communication styles, from birthday customs to the role of play, this episode dives into the everyday cultural signals baked into the Danish approach to education.

It’s an overview on how to decide on which school your child should go to and also a reflection on what school says about belonging, trust, independence, and integration in Denmark.
