Studying at Studieforberedende med fokus på internasjonalisering is the best way to prepare for studying at IB. Classes and teaching takes place in the IB department with experienced and certified IB teachers. This leads to a greater connection and natural transition between the Norwegian curriculum and the curriculum at the Diploma Programme for students.
As with our IB programme, the offer is completely free for all students.

Curriculum and learning partner
The curriculum follows the Norwegian curriculum for Studiespesialiserende VG1, but learning outcomes with an international focus will be covered more extensivly and links between the curriculum in IB will be emphazied.
All students get a learning partner from the Diploma programme. The learning partner helps with the becoming familiar in school and student life, but also to establish a positive learning environment for all international students.
