English is the primary language of instruction at Oslo International School, and separate English language tuition is provided to students with low proficiency. Norwegian is taught to Years 1–10 with three levels, and for native-speaker classes (Norwegian A), participation in the Norwegian National Tests is compulsory in Years 6, 8 and 9. All students in Years 8–10 choose French or Spanish as an additional language and are encouraged to continue these languages in Upper Secondary. Language support is available for students whose mother tongue is neither English nor Norwegian through the IB Diploma Programme structure, including a school-supported self-taught option or a Special request language option, and external language teachers deliver Language A options wherever possible.
Oslo International School is an independent school in Norway, funded by fees. It serves ages 3 to 18 and offers the IB Diploma Programme for Upper Secondary, with Pre-IB/IB for Lower Secondary and IPC. The Upper Secondary path runs three years from Pre-IB to IB2, with examinations that prepare students for university and employment. The IB framework and IPC in the younger years encourage enquiry, knowledge and intercultural understanding, with results that frequently exceed international standards. Founded in 1963, OIS is accredited by the Council of International Schools and NEASC. The campus houses science and computer labs, a 300-square-metre library with 15,000 books and a Librarian, and an Innovation Space with a laser cutter and a 3D printer. Facilities include a large gym, a multi-purpose hall, and outdoor spaces. Beyond academics, OIS offers a co-curricular program, including Lego robotics, Visual Arts, language visits, and Service Learning through NGO partnerships.
