Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees

- There is no separate application fee charged by Blindern videregående skole for applying to its Diploma Programme or other programmes. Applications for Vg1 and MYP/DP are processed through the municipal application systems used by Oslo schools.

Tuition fees by school year (Vg1–Vg3 and IB years)

- There are no tuition fees for students enrolled at Blindern vgs (no per‑term or per‑year tuition charges for Vg1, Vg2, Vg3 or the two‑year IB Diploma Programme). Public videregående opplæring is provided without tuition charges.

- Textbooks and core learning materials for IB students are provided under the public education "gratis" principle; students do not pay for required textbooks (exception: optional purchases of literary works for Language & Literature may occur).

- The school operates an obligatory leased school‑computer arrangement: students pay a yearly lease for their school PC under a multi‑year lease agreement (three‑year arrangement). The lease is charged annually. The lease amount is set to correspond to the equipment grant from Statens Lånekasse (Lånekassen).

How that leased‑PC fee is determined (amount guidance for 2025/26)

- The leased‑PC charge is aligned with the Lånekassen equipment/utstyrsstipend. The national equipment stipend for videregående varies by study line; for the 2025/26 framework Lånekassen's published ranges show equipment support levels that cover a modest annual amount intended for equipment needs. (Lånekassen publishes the stipend scale used to determine equipment support.)

- Blindern's published parental information documents reference the compulsory three‑year PC lease and list the school's equipment‑stipend figure in their student information (example figure shown in the school's welcome letter for a prior year). The actual annual lease charged to a given student follows the lease contract issued by the school at intake.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- There is no tuition billing schedule because no tuition is charged. For billed items (the compulsory yearly PC lease and any specific optional charges), the lease is billed annually under the school's lease agreement; the lease contract is issued and signed at the start of the arrangement. Parents/guardians and the student sign the lease/contract at school enrolment.

- Payment deadlines and any late‑payment terms for the lease follow the invoicing and contractual terms included with the lease agreement and the school's invoicing practice; the school issues the contract and invoice details directly to the student/guardian.

Boarding / boarding fees

- Blindern videregående skole is a day school located in Oslo and does not operate a student boarding facility; there are no boarding fees.

Other costs or fees

- Uniform: There is no compulsory school uniform or uniform fee listed for Blindern. Normal school clothing/uniform items are not required.

- Voluntary/optional costs: Students may incur optional costs for extracurricular trips, voluntary activities, field trips or optional course materials where the activity is not part of the core instructional offer; such optional charges are handled separately and are not the same as tuition. Any optional activity fees are billed only when the activity is explicitly voluntary or outside the scope of the free core provision.

- Student insurance and personal items (meals, travel to/from school, personal stationery beyond supplied loaned materials) are the family's responsibility unless otherwise specified for a particular activity.

Refund information

- There are no tuition refunds because no tuition is charged. For the compulsory leased school‑computer arrangement, refund or pro‑rata arrangements (for example if a student leaves during the school year) are governed by the signed lease/contract and the school's invoicing terms; the lease contract sets any applicable refund or settlement terms.

Fee payment options

- Billed items for municipal schools are handled through standard municipal invoicing channels. Common payment channels for municipal invoices include bank transfer (with KID/reference), eFaktura and AvtaleGiro; these electronic invoicing and bank‑transfer channels are the typical way municipal school invoices are paid in Norway. Card payments are not commonly used for municipal school tuition (which does not apply here) and invoicing is usually via the invoice channels above.

- The school issues the specific invoice/contract for any billed item (for example the PC lease) and that invoice contains the payment details and acceptable payment methods for that charge. Parents/guardians should follow the invoice instructions and the signed lease/contract for exact payment methods, references and due dates.

Quick summary

- Application fee: None.
- Tuition: None for Vg1–Vg3 and IB years (no per‑term or per‑year tuition charges).
- Compulsory leased PC: Yearly lease charge (three‑year lease), billed annually; amount set to correspond with Lånekassen equipment grant levels.
- Boarding: Not applicable (no boarding facility).
- Other costs: Optional activity fees where activities are voluntary; no uniform fee.

If an exact numeric lease amount is required for a specific incoming cohort, the school issues the lease contract and invoice at enrolment which shows the exact annual lease figure and the billing schedule for that student.

The DP is a two-year program for students aged 16 to 18 and leads to the globally recognized IB Diploma, supporting entry to universities worldwide. The Diploma Programme is conducted in English, making it suitable for internationally mobile students and Norwegians seeking an English-language secondary education with rigorous university preparation. The program requires six subjects across languages, social sciences, natural sciences and mathematics, plus the DP core—Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS). Blindern has delivered the IB Diploma since 1978, and is the oldest IB school in Norway. The school also serves a diverse international community within a municipal setting, offering strong academic continuity and opportunities to study Visual Arts as part of the DP option for students.
