Open House!
Get to know Kongsberg International School ahead of our Grade 1 admission for August 2026! The school where a life-long curiosity for learning is a main goal and student well-being always comes first.
We welcome you to come meet Hilde and Sofie on 11 September at 18.00 to learn more about KIS, the IB and why it might be a good choice for your child.
Welcome to KIS!
The admission for Grade 1 is always started in December to facilitate a smooth and predictable transition from kindergarten to school.
Our main focus is always student well-being and we do this through seeing each individual student. We work to build close relationships with each student and help them develop into caring members of the global society.
There are currently a few available places in Grade 2 and Grade 5 for immediate start-up.
Why choose KIS for your child?
Our classes have a maximum of 20 students per class and only one class per grade! This ensures time for each individual student and builds a close knit community. Through activities across school such as house days, celebrations and school show, we build our community feeling and relationships throughout the school year.
We see great value in living balanced lives and have therefore no homework in Grade 1-6! This ensures time for afternoon activities and rest outside of school hours.
Although electronic devices such as tablets and laptops provide a myriad of learning opportunities, we limit our use of screens. We emphasize the importance of learning to write using pen and paper to train fine motor skills and ensure students learn proper writing skills.
Through student agency we encourage students to take responsibility for their school day. They are actively involved in planning and shaping their learning experiences. Already from lower primary, we guide students in how to gather information and make independent choices, and continuously build upon this through the following years.
By fostering curiosity we aim for our students to be open for all that life has to offer! When students develop a general curiosity in life, we see an instant connection between what is taught in the classroom and life beyond school. They use their acquired skills actively in all aspects of life becoming life-long learners.
Get to know us!
We hope to see you on 11 September at 18.00 to where you will be able to get to know KIS.
Head of School, Hilde Bakken, and Head of Primary, Sofie Jørstad, are eager to meet you and present what KIS has to offer your child.
