The International Baccalaureate is an internationally recognised examination offered by over 2000 schools in 125 countries, and it qualifies for matriculation into most institutions of higher education.
Examinations are held in May, each year, on the same days, in every country in the Northern hemisphere. A uniform standard is maintained through the use of identical examination papers and an international network of examiners.
IB at Berg requires a student to study languages, social sciences, natural sciences and mathematics over two years. It is based on the first year of Norwegian videregående skole, or similar academic preparation. The IB Diploma course which is taught in English, is designed to cater for internationally mobile student applicants and Norwegian students interested in a secondary school education offering notably a somewhat greater in-depth study in three of the university preparatory subjects, taught in English.
Berg was authorised to teach the IB Diploma in 1978 making it the oldest IB school in Norway today. We believe that this long experience, combined with a highly qualified staff, several of whom have been IB examiners, provides a sound basis for the delivery of the programme. These elements, together with an international student body, make for a challenging and exciting route to further studies.
