I was born in Ireland by Danish parents and lived in Dublin until I
was 16.
Luckily, I found IB at Kolding Gymnasium where I jumped straight
into 2i and never looked back! IB is very demanding and brings
out the best in you. Students have to be very determined and
focused in order to achieve satisfactory results. There are many
interesting subjects to choose from, and as IB students come
from many different backgrounds, there is never a dull moment!.
IB is a challenge which makes going to school a lot more
interesting. Finally, with an IB diploma it is easier to get into a
university abroad.
