Our High School Programme
Our High School Programme follows the International Baccalaureate program and as such consists of a three year curriculum that is split into two parts.
The first year is Year 11 also called a Foundation Year. In Norway this is Videregående trinn 1 (VG1) and is similar to the Studiespesialisering course that is available at Norwegian high schools. This year prepares you for the two-year Diploma Programme.
The second and third year of our High School Programme is the Diploma Programme (DP). It is a rigourous two year programme developed by the International Baccalaureate.

Creativity, Activity and Service
Alongside academics, Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) involves students in a range of activities. These activities cover the arts and creative thinking, physical exertion and unpaid voluntary service. All our Foundation Year and DP students actively participate in CAS and it is a great way to make friends, get to know your community, and develop essential life skills.
Skagerak boasts more than 50 different CAS groups (activities) and students are free to develop new ones.
