We are an independent Catholic- Christian school, established in 1954 in Kgs. Lyngby.
Today the school has about 200 pupils, divided into 10 Danish classes. The Danish Department covers the 0th- 10th grades of the Danish school curriculum.

The school is a member of “Danmarks Privatskoleforening” (The Association of…) and the Association of Catholic Schools in Denmark (FAKS).
The School is managed by a Board of Governors consisting of 5 members and is a non-profit making institution. The day to day running of the school is managed by a team of 2 leaders.
Aims: For our school particular emphasis is placed upon mutual understanding and respect among the many nationalities.
The education given is, above all, in the Christian spirit; great importance is placed upon the religious and moral development of the individual student. Religious Awareness programmes are offered to all students. Roman Catholics are given separate instruction.
The local Parish Church of Sankt Knud Lavard is an integrated part of the school buildings and is used by the school for both Catholic and Ecumenical services. In addition to this, the Protestant pupils attend services in Lyngby Kirke close to our school.
