Information about International Classes Offer

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. It is housed within Manglerud skole, a public school that follows the Norwegian Educational Act. 

The academically rigorous curriculum is delivered in English and follows the framework of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Grades 1 - 6 and the International Baccalaureate Organization Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 7 -10.

The IBO PYP and IBO 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 them to fully participate in the programme without any additional English language support.

Inquiry based learning forms the basis of teaching and learning at MIC (Manglerud, International Classes) and encompasses all areas of the programme.  The language of instruction is English. The international programme delivered at MIC follows the framework required by the IBO to qualify it as an IB World School.

Manglerud skole, International Classes was authorised in January 2019 as an IB World school for the PYP ( Primary Years Programme) and in March 2023 for the MYP ( Middle Years Programme).
