Olsvikåsen videregående skole

What Olsvikåsen videregående skole does

Olsvikåsen videregående skole is a public upper secondary school (videregående skole) located at Olsvikåsen 152 in western Bergen, Norway, operated by Vestland County Municipality (Vestland fylkeskommune). It serves approximately 550 students drawn from the Bergen west, Askøy, and Øygarden catchment areas, supported by nearly 90 staff including teachers, department heads, guidance counselors, and administrative personnel. The institution is led by Rector André van der Heide.

The school delivers five educational programs: Studiespesialisering (university-preparatory track with science, languages, social sciences, and economics electives), Kunst, design og arkitektur (art, design and architecture), Helse- og oppvekstfag (vocational health and upbringing with apprenticeship pathways), Helse og oppvekst – studieførebuande (study-preparatory health program), and Tilrettelagt opplæring (special needs education across three phases from social competence to workplace integration). Technology infrastructure comprises Visma in School (administrative/grading platform), Skoleportalen (parent/student portal), PCs, Smartboards, and tablets, with no proprietary technology development.

The business model is public-sector block funding through the Vestland County Municipality education budget, with no tuition charged to students. Ancillary revenue is limited to modest material fees (e.g., approximately NOK 400/year plus a NOK 2,000 start package for Kunst, Design og Arkitektur; NOK 35/day for the Tilrettelagt opplæring work-training group). Admissions are managed centrally through the county VIGO portal with school-level waitlists after the August intake cutoff. Strategic positioning emphasizes a safe and inclusive learning environment, active student council governance, Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification, and an award-winning cafeteria, within a campus setting at the foot of Lyderhorn designed to promote student visibility and community.
