What Is a Euro-Class?
Since 2010 SCS-INTA has housed two Euro-classes for students aged 15 to 17 years old. The aim of the Euro-classes is to give Danish students the opportunity to experience an international and bi-lingual school environment and to contribute to the internationalization of the Danish school system.
The focus of the Euro-classes is:
- To develop high academic standards which prepare the students for further education
- To improve the students’ language skills
- To further knowledge about Europe and the European Union
- To encourage the students to develop an international outlook of the world
What Do the Euro-Classes Offer?

- More than 30 lessons a week
