IB Curriculum International Schools in Oslo, Norway

Oslo’s IB schools form a small but mixed sector made up of fee-paying independent schools, state-funded private schools and municipal “international” classes that together offer IB programmes alongside Norway’s public options. The International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes are commonly available, usually taught in English with Norwegian and other modern languages offered as additional language programmes. Fees vary widely depending on school type and subsidy level - for 2026 - 27 published annual tuition runs from roughly NOK 43,450 at some state-funded international schools up to around NOK 288,700 at a fully independent international school. Admissions operate on both rolling and annual cycles: some schools accept applications year-round and hold induction and formal entry rounds for the August intake, while others publish a fixed annual admissions window, so relocating families should apply early and keep a local public-school place as a backup.
