Bergeland VGS

What Bergeland VGS does

Bergeland videregående skole (Bergeland VGS) is a public upper secondary school located in Stavanger, Norway, operated by Rogaland fylkeskommune (Rogaland County Municipality). It serves youth students aged 16–19 entitled to free upper secondary education under Norwegian law, as well as adult learners aged 21+ seeking to complete or upgrade qualifications. The school delivers a portfolio of vocational and academic programs including Helse- og oppvekstfag (Health and Childcare Studies), Kunst, design og arkitektur (Art, Design and Architecture), Medier og kommunikasjon (Media and Communication), Tilrettelagt opplæring (Special Needs Education), Voksenopplæring (Adult Education), and a combined Health/Childcare plus general university admission track.

The school's digital infrastructure is built on the Norwegian national education-sector stack: Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, the Visma InSchool administrative system for scheduling, attendance and student records, Feide for national identity and single sign-on, and PocketID as a mobile-based digital student ID for transport discounts, library access, and school identification. Students are required to own a personal computer, supported by the county-managed PC-ordningen laptop subsidy scheme.

The business model is government appropriations-based: tuition is free for all students, with funding flowing from Rogaland County Municipality as the parent entity. Admissions are processed through the county's centralized application portal, and students may apply for equipment grants and loans through Lånekassen (the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund). The school operates from three Stavanger locations — Vaisenhusgata 50 (main campus), Badehusgata 39 (VG2 Health and Childcare), and Byfjordparken 17 (adult education, day and evening).
