Introduction

Skagerak International School operates across two campuses in Sandefjord and Tf8nsberg, offering the International Baccalaureate across PYP, MYP, and DP. IB authorization for the Middle Years Programme has been in place since February 2008, signaling a long-standing commitment to inquiry-based learning and international-mindedness. The school brings together students from diverse backgrounds to study in English, with the IB continuum guiding curriculum design and assessment. The campuses provide spaces where students explore ideas, collaborate on projects, and engage with real-world issues. The school emphasises cultural diversity and international-mindedness through its programs and student activities. Service as Action is embedded within the MYP, linking classroom learning to local and global communities and encouraging responsible citizenship. Through these elements, Skagerak prepares learners to think critically, communicate across cultures, and contribute meaningfully beyond the campus. Classrooms emphasize inquiry, reflection, and collaborative problem-solving, while outdoor and cross-curricular activities support experiential learning for curious, global learners.

Available sources show annual day-school tuition falling broadly between approximately NKr 16,500 and NKr 49,000 depending on year and programme. No source accessed provides a complete, published breakdown of tuition by individual year group (or a per-term figure per year group) for the 2026/27 academic year.

- For reference, summaries in public directories give the following annual ranges: NKr 16,500–47,000 (directory summary) and NKr 20,000–49,000 (directory summary). These are reported as annual day fees; per-term or per-year-group schedules are not shown in those summaries.
