From a small German school with ten primary students, the Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo has developed into a highly regarded institution in Norway and an important actor in strengthening the relations between Norway and Germany. A bilateral school contract ensures funding by Norway and Germany, which enables students to obtain both a Norwegian and a German Abitur (Deutsches Internationales Abitur/DIAP), which qualifies them for study worldwide.
At the heart of Oslo, the Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo offers a learning journey from kindergarten through the 12th grade. In the divisions, staff work closely together to ensure a smooth transition between stages. Students gain German and Norwegian language and cultural competencies from kindergarten through grade 12, and obtain a double Abitur as a gateway to study in Norway, Germany, and beyond. The Deutsch-Norwegische Schule Oslo, together with the AKS and SAKS, belongs to the network of more than 140 German Auslandsschulen.
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.
