Norwegian is the language of instruction. English tuition is provided with dedicated weekly hours (Year 1–4: 2.5 hours per week; Years 8–10: three hours per week, plus optional Cambridge ESOL preparation). Foreign languages offered as electives include Spanish and French, in addition to English. The school maintains a high standard of English language development to support progress in English as a second language.
The Norwegian School in London uses Norwegian as the language of instruction and follows the Norwegian curriculum. English is taught as a language alongside Norwegian instruction, with Year 1–4 pupils having 2.5 hours of English each week, taught by both native English-speaking and Norwegian teachers. The school uses London as an extended classroom and pupils commonly speak both English and Norwegian in daily life.
Norwegian is learned through immersion, with pupils hearing and using Norwegian in all contexts. Students who arrive with insufficient Norwegian receive individualized learning plans and extra support, including an Individual Education Plan where needed, until they can follow ordinary Norwegian instruction. Families are encouraged to speak Norwegian at home to support language development.
