BCD and CDI
The school’s two libraries, BCD for primaire and CDI for collège and lycée, both offer information and a cozy place to hang out. A space where students can seek out information, improve their research skills, and where they can find a comfortable and calm environment for reading.
CDI (Centre de Documentation et d’Information) is a space for students and teachers alike, and is used for information, for reading, and for learning. It is a work – and relaxation – room, which is both calm and comfortable.
CDI is open from Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm and offers a broad spectrum of reading material for the students: Young adult fiction, cartoons, non-fiction books, curriculum materials, novels in Danish, English, German, or Spanish, news articles, both general and specific, orientation resources, internet access and guidance.
35 Newspapers |
970 Graphic novels/cartoons |
3700 Novels |
2000 Subject books |
CDI sometimes invites whole classes and introduces them to different books, media, or gives them a brief lesson on researching information.
