Books, teaching materials and all assessments are in English (except in mother tongue or foreign language subjects).

Students write an extended essay on a topic of their choice, complete a Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course and organise an individual CAS programme including creativity, activity and service projects.

Students are placed in a tutor group with a Personal Tutor who is also their CAS Advisor and can help advise on their CAS Programme.

IB courses, exams and assessments are the jurisdiction of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) and not the Norwegian Department of Education or the Education Act.
