Spend a high school year abroad in Denmark and you’ll improve your communication skills, embrace new perspectives, and enjoy life in one of the world’s safest and happiest countries.

As an ASSE high school exchange student in Denmark, you’ll attend a local Danish school and live with a carefully selected host family, giving you an authentic and immersive experience in Danish culture, traditions, and everyday life.

From biking to school like a local to sharing cozy “hygge” moments with your host family, this unforgettable exchange experience will help you grow more independent, build lifelong friendships, and gain valuable cross-cultural understanding. Whether you’re exploring the vibrant streets of Copenhagen or relaxing in a small coastal town, a high school year abroad in Denmark is your chance to live and learn like a local—and return home with memories and confidence that will last a lifetime.
