Graduate IB High School in Denmark
GKX VISION
In GKX we aim to minimize the challenges by living and studying "alone" as a teenager in Denmark as much as possible and to establish interdisciplinary networks between International students and Danish companies, organizations, and associations.
More Than School. A Journey of Fun, Friends,and Finding Yourself
"Education is just one part of the journey. Life is too short not to enjoy it while you learn. We recognize that everyone’s way of living and understanding the world is unique. By learning from each other and prioritizing well-being, we expand our horizons. At GKX, your IB years in Denmark are not only about academics – it’s equally about personal growth and building a global network. We see you as "the whole human being."
"We guide you through every step of the process, from choosing the right school and navigating the immigration process, to helping you understand yourself when challenges arise and you feel like giving up, through weekend and holiday activities, until the "final" day, where your proud parents place the traditional Danish graduation cap on your head."
"Are YOU Ready for an International Career?
Start with the IB Diploma in Denmark! With GKX as your local support partner, you’ll not only gain academic excellence but also enjoy a safe, supportive, and culturally enriching experience."
Global KnowleX (GKX) provides local-based, professional support to international students (16-19 yr) studying the world-recognized IB Diploma or Pre IB at a Danish High School.
The GKX network is your ”family” in Denmark: an exclusive combination of meetings with natives who know all about the do’s and don’ts and a national-based group of international students to share experiences and perhaps visit on the weekend.
We base our core values on your safety by focusing on well-being activities replacing loneliness with ”feeling home” and personal growth, and minimizing (but not ignoring) the risk of homesickness and culture shock. In addition, you get an introduction to Danish ”hygge” (coziness), family traditions, and the local network.
Our noblest task is to ensure students to have a happy study life in Denmark together with new friends – and to give parents worry-free days and nights.

At GKX, we specialize in supporting international students with EU residency, Danish ID registration, and all the practical and emotional preparations for studying away from home.

"Guiding Teens Through New Beginnings: Support When It’s Needed Most"
"Since 2008, I have worked with international teenagers living and studying in Denmark. I have met many fantastic and ambitious young people, and no matter how independent they are, I have learned that everyone, from time to time, needs a supportive adult to talk to. Living without parents, family, and friends in a new country with unfamiliar rules, expectations, and traditions is more challenging than one can imagine without having experienced it themselves.
No one should face their questions or challenges alone, especially when loved ones are far away. That’s why I founded Global KnowleX."

Founder of Global KnowleX
Student and family recommendations
“Letting our son study abroad was a great challenge for us, but knowing that he will get technical support was a relief. We were full of doubt and concerns. This way we knew that our son wouldn't be alone, and that there would be somebody for him to turn for help to. I kindly recommend the GKX services to everybody. We are completely satisfied with their attitude, help, support and their personality".
