Asker videregående skole

What Asker videregående skole does

Asker videregående skole is a public upper secondary school located at Bleikerveien 19 in Asker, Norway, operated and fully funded by Akershus fylkeskommune (Akershus County Municipality). The school delivers Norway's standard three-year upper secondary curriculum (Vg1, Vg2, Vg3) across academic and vocational study programs to Norwegian youth aged 16–19, and operates under the country's free public education mandate. Admission is administered centrally through the Vigo platform managed by the county municipality, and the school issues nationally recognized diplomas (vitnemål) and competence certificates.

The school's service offering comprises five core components: Utdanningstilbud (educational programs across multiple study tracks), Elevtjenester (student services including counseling and special education support), Skolebibliotek (library and digital resources), IKT og Elev-PC (IT services and student computer access), and Eksamen og Vurdering (examinations, assessment, and diploma issuance). Its technology stack consists of Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, Visma InSchool for student information management, and the centralized Vigo system for admissions, all operating under the afk.no digital infrastructure of Akershus fylkeskommune.

The school's business model is public sector service delivery rather than commercial: it charges no tuition or fees, generates no commercial revenue, and is financed entirely through Akershus County Municipality's budget allocations for operations, staffing, and facilities. It employs approximately 40 staff and serves a regional student body within the Viken/Akershus area, with no expansion, acquisition, or fundraising activity indicated in the available data.

Comparable in governance structure, county funding, and core offering; known for its sports program but otherwise offers a similar standard upper secondary curriculum competing for the same regional applicant pool.

Others

• Akershus fylkeskommune (Utdanningsavdelingen): Parent organization and primary funder of Asker vgs. Owns the school's IT systems, website domain, and staffing; manages the Vigo admissions platform.
