International schools in Copenhagen?
We will be living in Copenhagen and need to find a school for our 10 year old. She doesn't speak Danish, so we're looking for an international school where English (or Russian) is the language of instruction. We found a number of possibilities: Bjørns Internationale Skole, Rygaards Skole, and Copenhagen International School. There's also a school associated with the Russian Embassy we are considering. Does anyone have any experience with any of these schools?

I went to Rygaard's for four years, but it was a long time ago.

Oh -- I'm still in touch with people who are still connected to Rygaards, so if you have specific questions I might be able to get them answered. (I liked Rygaards, despite the terseness of my earlier answer.)

My sisters went to Rygaards about 15 years ago. No complaints. Memail me if you want more details from my parents.

I was born and raised in Copenhagen, and attended the Bjorn school for 1 year, from age 15-16, to improve my English before moving to Florida to attend the Bollettieri Tennis Academy.
Each of my two sisters attended the Hørsholm International School, which, with Copenhagen International School and Rygaards, is one of the 3 English-instruction schools most popular expats.
If you want to talk, I'm more than willing and probably can give you some good info.
I'm a physician, so extended back-and-forth emailing is really doable time-wise. Much better that we exchange phone numbers via Memail and schedule time(s) to speak.
