In Denmark we have two

kinds of elementary

schools; the public

schools are free and

have the same rules all

over the county, and the

private schools costs

extra money. We pay for

the public school by tax,

and everybody have to

pay that, so it is an extra

cost to go in a private

school.

In Denmark you start in school when you are 5-7 years old. You start in 0. grade, which is a kind of preschool. The preschool is optional, but most choose to start there. Most public schools in Denmark are meant to have 0. – 9. grade in the same school.
