IB Sport

World class sport and education

IB Sport

Ikast-Brande Gymnasium is part of a unique group of IB schools across the world which allows high performing athletes the chance to combine sports with an IB education.

IB Sport allows you to practice your sport in the mornings, you will gain support from our sports coordinators who help you with the task of balancing school and sport, and you may extend or tailor your education if needed to balance it with the demands of your sport.

Schedule

The key word for you and the school is flexibility.

The goal is to give you the opportunity to receive the same quality education as any non-athlete student. 

Individual accommodations are made with respect to the demands of your sport. We help you with organising extra classes and the rescheduling of exams.

With an IB Sport education, you get:

  • A world-wide recognized education, taught entirely in English
  • A challenging curriculum
  • An international environment with peers from all over the world
  • The possibility to combine sports with high academic standards.

"I have lived in five different countries and have always attended international schools. Besides that, I have played soccer my whole life, so IB Sport is a perfect solution for me. It’s an international education combined with sports. We have morning practice three times a week which doesn’t interfere with our regular schedule. There’s room for both sport and school and I get to play with other skilled soccer players. It’s great."

Christian Ebbesen, IB Sport student
