Our Secondary School builds on the firm foundations established in the Primary school and the Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate (IB)and is dedicated to fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to explore their passions, develop critical thinking skills, and become global citizens.

Through the International Baccalaureate (IB), we offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP),  a rigorous and holistic curriculum that emphasizes academic excellence, creativity, and intercultural understanding. Our experienced and passionate educators are committed to supporting each student's unique journey, ensuring they are well-equipped for future challenges and opportunities.

The curriculum is delivered in English.  All students will learn Norwegian as a compulsory subject in line with Norwegian education regulations plus one other language - German or French. 

We encourage students to join extra-curricular activities both at school and across the local community. Stavanger offers a wide choice of sporting, musical and cultural activities for students of this age. Joining these organisations helps students to integrate and provides the opportunity for them to practise and develop language fluency in Norwegian. Additionally, we encourage our students to become actively involved in organising and supporting events in school that foster international-mindedness.
