What Lena-Valle videregående skole does

Lena-Valle videregående skole is a public upper secondary school (videregående skole) wholly owned and operated by Innlandet fylkeskommune (Innlandet County Municipality), Norway. The school operates two co-located campuses in Lena, Norway — Avdeling Lena (Skolegata 24) and Avdeling Valle (Lenagata 20) — and serves students pursuing both academic study preparation (studiespesialisering and idrettsfag) and vocational qualifications across five main tracks: naturbruk (natural resource management, including agronomist, forestry, landscape gardening, horse/animal care), helse- og oppvekstfag (health and welfare), and teknologi- og industrifag (technology and industry). The school also runs a part-time Voksenagronom (adult agronomist) program since 2009 that has produced over 400 graduates, and operates an internat (boarding facility) with 80 beds across four residential buildings (Låven, Parken, Stratos, Rectorboligen), charging 6,300 NOK per month inclusive of four daily meals.

The school's revenue model is predominantly public: the dominant funding stream is the county-level block grant from Innlandet fylkeskommune, supplemented by a small annual student equipment fee of 1,398 NOK for the Elev-PC (Lenovo ThinkPad) laptop program and boarding fees from the internat. Customer acquisition is conducted through the national Vigo application portal (vigo.no), with priority deadline February 1 and regular deadline March 1, supplemented by open house events (Åpen skole) and parent information meetings. The digital operating environment is built on Visma InSchool (student information system with the Min InSchool mobile companion), Microsoft 365/Teams with mandatory Microsoft Authenticator 2FA, the national Feide SSO for students and ID-porten for parents, and the Safe Exam Browser for secure digital examinations administered by Utdanningsdirektoratet.

Geographically, the school serves the Innlandet region with national draw through the internat and international exposure via three-week European agricultural exchange programs for Vg2/Vg3 naturbruk students. Strategic partnerships include Norsk Hestesenter Starum for horse/animal care training, Innlandet Bondelaget and Oppland Bonde- og Småbrukarlag for industry engagement around the adult agronomist program, and Norwegian and European agricultural schools for student exchanges. The school holds Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification, has a published accessibility statement (uustatus.no), and recorded a 1st place finish at WorldSkills Norway 2024 in landscaping/gardening.
