Admissions

How to apply, waitlist information, and financial support

Admissions Process

Applications for a place at the Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo are accepted on an ongoing basis. Inquiries regarding applications should be directed to the school secretariat. To enroll your child, we require the following documents: application form for the Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo; copies of the last two school reports (if available); copy of the child's birth certificate; copy of the child's vaccination certificate; if applicable, an application for AKS/SAKS (full-day care). Please send the documents by email to our secretariat. Enrollment for 1st grade: We welcome children who wish to attend our school from the first grade. Enrollment for first grade takes place each year after the summer holidays (mid-August). The first registration deadline for our future first-graders is December 1 of the previous year. Subsequently (at the start of the year), we invite potential first-graders to an introductory session at our school. In this session we meet the children for the first time in a group and assess the children's language comprehension. After that, the admission process for new students is completed. Please send the registration documents (see above) and any questions to our secretariat. It is advisable to also register your child with the municipality for a municipal school. If you have been allocated a place at DENOSO, you can withdraw the municipal registration. The deregistration deadline at the Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo is three months (end of the month). Enrollment for the after-school program AKS/SAKS: The activity school is our day-care facility for school-age children. We care for students in grades 1-4 (AKS) and 5-8 (SAKS). An AKS/SAKS enrollment is open to all DENOSO-enrolled students in grades 1-8. Enrollment is possible at any time; the deregistration deadline is one month. If you wish to enroll your child in AKS/SAKS, please send the completed AKS/SAKS enrollment form to our secretariat or to Marc Rohner. Enrollment for the Deutsch-Norwegische Kindergarten Oslo: In the Deutsch-Norwegische Kindergarten Oslo, children can be admitted starting at twelve months of age. Parents/guardians may apply for a kindergarten place at any time. The deadline for the first round of the main intake (kindergarten start in August) is March 1. Admission to the Deutsch-Norwegische Kindergarten takes place as part of Oslo's annual main intake process at the start of a calendar year. To enroll your child in our kindergarten, fill out the registration form for our facility and send it to our secretariat. In addition to the registration for the Deutsch-Norwegische Kindergarten, an application to the appropriate Oslo district is required. The district should list the Deutsch-Norwegische Kindergarten as the first priority on your wishlist. More information is available on Oslo's city website. Steps to register: 1. Send the completed registration form for the Deutsch-Norwegische Kindergarten Oslo to our secretariat. 2. Also send the child's birth certificate and vaccination card. 3. Register the child in the Oslo district where you live; if you live outside Oslo, choose the Sagene district (Bydel Sagene). 4. List the Deutsch-Norwegische Kindergarten Oslo as the first priority. 5. Both forms must be submitted for the first intake round by March 1. It pays to apply early for a place in our kindergarten, as we maintain our own waiting list that also takes the application date into account. More information on the waiting list and the different priorities can be found in the kindergarten's statutes.

Waitlist

The school maintains its own waiting list, which also takes the date of application into account. It is worthwhile to apply early for a place. For more detailed information on the waiting list and the priority levels, see the kindergarten's statutes.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Discounts: The Stiftung Deutscher Schulverein in Norwegen grants a 35 percent discount starting with the third child, provided that the school fees are not reimbursed from other sources (for example by the employer). Only children who attend the Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo are eligible; children in the kindergarten are not eligible. The discount is automatically credited to the monthly invoice. Applications for a social discount for families with an annual income under 6G (folketrygdens grunnbeløp) can be made informally with proof of income and assets; the school board decides through administration. Social discount applications can be made informally at any time; discounts are not retroactive; a social discount must be reapplied for each calendar year.

Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo is a private bi-cultural school in Oslo, recognized by both Germany and Norway, serving students aged 1 to 18. The school delivers a bilingual German–Norwegian education across all stages, with instruction in German, Norwegian, English and French, and a bilingual history program. From kindergarten through Abitur, students earn both the German Abitur and the Norwegian Vitnemål, enabling access to higher education worldwide. The curriculum includes the Deutsches Sprachdiplom I and a Ganztagsbetreuung after‑school program for grades 1–8. A bilateral contract funds the school, strengthening cross‑cultural ties and enabling dual qualifications under the Deutsches Internationales Abitur/DIAP. Facilities include a small library in the SAKS building and the Geitmyra city garden used for teaching and after‑school activities. The culture program Den kulturelle skolesekken (DKS), an orchestra, a primary choir, and collaborations with Oslo museums enrich learning; students also participate in Jugend musiziert and other cultural exchanges.
