All classrooms are bright, pleasant and air-conditioned, with broadband, projectors and AppleTV. The school has seven group rooms, some attached to classrooms and some accessible from common areas. The science room was refurbished in 2019 and has everything needed for biology and chemistry, including a locked storage alcove for chemistry supplies. The Art & Craft room is equipped with sewing machines. The music room doubles as a cultural space with guitars, ukuleles, piano, keyboard and drums, with keyboards that connect to iPads for GarageBand. The library houses books for children and youth and uses digital books via the Cappelen Damm 'Skolen' app.
Stage productions and other cultural events occur in the culture hall throughout the year. Lower secondary students participate in an elective called 'Sal og Scene' for productions and performances. The culture hall provides a professional and inspiring setting for these productions as well as other cultural events. Students have opportunities to express themselves through drama, music and performance in these settings.
