Tuition

This applies to families who work for companies who wish to guarantee a space in ISB’s Guaranteed Seat Programme. Securing a seat guarantees the company flexibility for students to arrive at any stage of the school year. Guaranteed seats will be prioritized to join ISB. A guaranteed seat secures a seat for the current school year and can be used by another student from the same company should there be a transition within a school year. 

When a family has been admitted under the Guaranteed Seats Programme they will be sponsored by their employer. Once registered as part of the Guaranteed Seat Programme, a family will always be defined as such given that the family’s tuition is paid by the employer. 

Internationally mobile families will be considered employer-sponsored and required to pay sponsored tuition if they are non-Norwegian and do not meet the criteria defined below in Tuition B or Tuition C.

Guaranteed seat programme fees are upon application.

These are families who have to comply with all of the points below:

• Reside within Bergen Kommune
• Are Internationally mobile families (families where neither parent nor child holds a Norwegian passport) 
• Have resided in Norway for fewer than three years
• Can verify they do not receive their tuition sponsored by a company (evidence required).

Families who have been admitted as Tuition B1 can apply to move to Tuition C when the family has been in Norway for 3 years. If this applies to your circumstances, please contact the school office. A status change from Tuition B to Tuition C would come into effect after completing the school year. 

In the allocation of seats Tuition B1 applicants will be placed after Tuition A students.

• Reside outside Bergen Kommune regardless of how long they have lived in Norway.
