The German School Oslo ( DSO ) is a German-Norwegian school for encounter , ( Norwegian : Den norsk-tyske bikulturelle skole ). It was founded in 1980 and is centrally located in Oslo , in the building of the former Hegdehaugskole at Sporveisgata 20. The organizational structure is divided into kindergarten , elementary and middle school as well as grammar school / upper school. In addition, all-day care is attached to the DSO, the so-called Aktivitetsskole.
history
The school is named after the Jewish philosopher, writer and publisher Max Tau, who has lived in Norway since 1938 and died in Oslo in 1976 . When it first opened its doors to just ten students in 1980, it was originally intended as a primary school for the relatives of employees of the German embassy and the NATO headquarters north. The lessons initially took place in the basement of the Evangelical German Language Congregation in Norway. After years of growth and several moves, the school now has 88 kindergarten children and 220 pupils at Sporveisgata 20 and Bislett gate 8. Almost half of the pupils are of Norwegian origin.
In the current school building of the German School in Oslo, the Hegdehaugen middelskole (Hegdehaugen Middle School) was previously located until 1976 and then until 1998 the Hegdehaugen videregående skole (Hegdehaugen Gymnasium).
The DSO is a private school and is run by a foundation under Norwegian law. On February 26, 2010, a bilateral agreement was signed to convert the school into a German-Norwegian encounter school. This makes the school a truly bilateral project. The students now have the opportunity to acquire the German international Abitur (DIAP) as well as admission to Norwegian universities.
