About Summer School

International People’s College in Elsinore (da. Helsingør) was founded in 1921 in the wake of WWI as an International Folk High School, where people from all over the world could meet in an informal teaching environment, share experiences and eventually come to realize that the bonds that tie them together are much stronger than the differences that seemingly separate them (read more about our history here). Since then our Folk High School in Denmark has been home to thousands of students from every imaginable country in the world.

Summer Courses

International People’s College has hosted English and Danish summer language courses for more than 30 years. With our unique mixture of language classes optimized to all levels (from beginners to university level) and introductions to key aspects of Danish culture and society we offer an amazing framework for anyone interested in Denmark and the Danes.

As all other Danish Folk High Schools, International People’s College is a boarding school, which means that while staying at the school, you don’t need to think of anything, but learning. You will be offered three delicious meals a day by our international kitchen, cozy accommodation in single or double rooms, wifi coverage on the entire campus, the possibility to watch movies in our cinema, doing assignments outside in the school’s beautiful gardens, enjoy a late night bonfire by our lake, or take a stroll in historic downtown Elsinore, the city immortalised in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, while several wonderful beaches are just a short walk away.
