Words from Past Students
Here’s what some of our alumni have to say about their time at CIS
Johannes Hækkerup
2020 graduate Johannes Hækkerup, who began reading Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at the University of Oxford after graduating from CIS
“Copenhagen International School has provided me with the perspective and mindset to look outwards and push myself for the very top.”
Dániel Kovács
Daniel joined CIS as a scholarship student, and after graduating in 2019 secured a place to read History at Oxford.
“I think the confidence to apply to Oxford came from the skills and knowledge I got and developed while at Copenhagen International School,” he said.
Clara Strømsted
Clara graduated in 2019 and went on to study PPE at Oxford university.
“I think Copenhagen International School encourages a learning environment where you shouldn’t be scared of speaking your mind; you won’t be told off for saying something wrong, and you’re always encouraged to try even though there’s a risk of failing,” she said.
“This was useful in the interviews because honestly there wasn’t a point when I was sure I was saying the right thing, but I still spoke and showed my thinking process.
