The School
Copenhagen City Council offers all nine-year-old children who are able to sing and who enjoy doing so the opportunity of being admitted to the Choir School, which is accordingly not a private school, even though many think that it is.
Here children can continue their normal schooling and at the same time receive intensive vocal training. They encounter a large, flourishing school where everyday life is marked by the pupils' occupation with choral singing and music, but also by versatility in a school community with many committed children and parents. The children quickly get used to the change from a local school to the Choir School. A special arrangement to help new pupils to acclimatize themselves enables the school to tackle problems connected with a change of school at an early stage. They are usually of a practical nature and easy to solve.
