How dates are set

Who decides

School holidays in Denmark are set by each municipality (kommune).

In Denmark each municipality sets its own school holidays, so dates are listed for the four largest cities. In Copenhagen the city's plan is a guideline: each school confirms its own holidays with its school board.

Single schools can add a few days of their own (for example for teacher training or local feasts). Check with your school for those.
