According to a new report from the International Schools Database (ISD), Copenhagen is the most affordable in Europe for international schools for 2020.

Looking at fees of international schools in 29 cities across 19 European countries, ISD ranked Copenhagen as the cheapest – with average fees totaling 4,818 US dollars (roughly 30,200 kroner) per year.

“In Denmark both public and private schools (which includes international schools) are all heavily subsidised by the government. This may explain why education is so affordable – comparatively speaking – in a country with a reputation for a high cost of living,” the report found.

In fact, the average of 30,200 kroner would be even less were it not for CIS, where the fees are six times more expensive.
