Hadeland videregående skole

What Hadeland videregående skole does

Hadeland videregående skole (Hadeland vgs / HVS) is a public upper secondary school (videregående skole) located in Gran, Innlandet county, Norway, serving students aged 16–19 from Gran, Lunner, and Jevnaker municipalities. The school is operated by Innlandet fylkeskommune (Innlandet County Municipality) and offers three-year programs (Vg1, Vg2, Vg3) across both academic tracks (studiespesialisering, idrettsfag, musikk/dans/drama, medier og kommunikasjon) leading to university admission (studiekompetanse), and vocational tracks (bygg- og anleggsteknikk, elektro og datateknologi, helse- og oppvekstfag, restaurant- og matfag, salg/service/reiseliv, teknologi- og industrifag) leading to apprenticeships and craft/journeyman certification (fagbrev/svennebrev). The school also provides BASIS preparatory education and serves adult privatister through exam registration.

The school's technology stack is anchored by Visma InSchool, the administrative system deployed across all 21+ upper secondary schools in Innlandet county for scheduling, grades, attendance, course selection, and student records. Students and staff access InSchool via Feide single sign-on; parents use ID-porten. The Min InSchool mobile app (iOS/Android) provides digital student ID (Digitalt Skolebevis), schedules, and absence tracking. The school participates in the county-wide Elev-PC laptop program (three tiers from Lenovo ThinkPad E14 to P16s with NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada). Safe Exam Browser (SEB) secures exam delivery, and student authentication is MFA-protected via Microsoft Authenticator.

As a Norwegian public educational institution, Hadeland vgs is government-funded and tuition-free; students receive textbooks on loan and can opt into the county's student PC program (1,398 NOK/year co-payment offset by Lånekassen equipment grants). The school does not have private ownership, external investors, or commercial revenue — its parent entity is Innlandet fylkeskommune, and student enrollment flows through the national Vigo application system. Reported headcount is 33 (likely administrative/leadership), with the institution functioning as a cost center rather than a revenue-generating enterprise.
