The British International School - Stavanger
Established in 1977, The British International School of
Stavanger in South West Norway is an independent non-profit making
foundation administered by a board of Governors. It is situated
approximately eight kilometres south of Stavanger overlooking
Gandsfjord.
The school is modern and complies strictly with the
design and safety requirements of the Norwegian authorities. In all,
there are twenty-four classrooms, smaller rooms for group work and
special rooms for special education, art, music, science, French and
two computer rooms. There is a fully equipped and spacious gymnasium
as well as a woodwork room, assembly hall and extensive libraries
with a computer indexing system.
The principal educational aim of the school is to
meet the needs and expectations of parents, wishing to have their
children educated in an English school, by providing them with the
more traditional aspects of a proven British education. This not
only covers the requirements of National Curriculum, but also those
of Common Entrance levels. This ensures that when the time comes
they will be able to transfer to British curriculum schools either
in Independent or State sectors, or to local Norwegian schools.
The Principal puts great emphasis on developing the
individual qualities and talents of the children at The British
International School of Stavanger following a policy of encouraging
children to have confidence in their own abilities and to develop a
caring attitude towards others.
