Step 1: Eligibility and programme details. International Classes at Manglerud skole is a city-wide programme open for qualified applicants who hold the right to education in the Municipality of Oslo; you must live in Oslo to be eligible. The curriculum is delivered in English and follows the national curriculum within the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Grades 1–6 and the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 7–10. The IBO PYP and MYP programmes are not English language learning programmes; students admitted to Manglerud International Classes (MIC) are required to have a level of competency in writing, reading and speaking English to enable full participation without any additional English language support.
Manglerud Skole – International Classes is a public IB program in Oslo offering an English-language curriculum for students aged 6–16. It houses the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Grades 1–6 and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 7–10, with IB authorization in 2019 (PYP) and 2023 (MYP). Instruction emphasizes inquiry-based learning, with a six-year PYP Programme of Inquiry; the MYP covers eight subjects in Years 7–9 and six in Year 10, and a foreign language is required in Years 8–10. In Year 10, core subjects include Mathematics, Humanities, English Language and Literature, Arts (Music and Visual Arts), Integrated Sciences, and Norwegian Language Acquisition, with continued study of French/Spanish/German. Well-being is a pass/fail course. The program runs 22.5 hours per week, including 3 hours of Norwegian Language Acquisition. Written progress reports and twice-yearly parent–teacher conferences monitor progress. Located at Plogveien 22, the campus hosts a choir and after-school care. The International Classes will close in August 2026; admissions require Oslo residency and the right to education.
