Otto Treider Private Gymnas

What Otto Treider Private Gymnas does

Otto Treider Private Gymnas AS is a privately held Norwegian upper secondary school (videregående skole) headquartered at Nedre Vollgate 8 in central Oslo, operating continuously since 1882 when Otto Treider founded Norway's first commercial school (Otto Treider's Handelsskole). The legal entity is registered as an Aksjeselskap (Org.nr. 919 193 298) with a wholly-owned adjacent operating subsidiary, Otto Treider Idrett AS (Org.nr. 914 972 531), which houses the sports programmes. Approximately 30 staff members support an enrollment model capped at roughly 30 students per academic line, with the school drawing applicants from across the Oslo and Eastern Norway region.

The school's core offering is the studiespesialisering (general studies) programme delivered across three specialization tracks: Realfag (natural sciences), Økonomi (economics, continuing the school's mercantile tradition), and Samfunnsfag (social sciences), each preparing students for Norwegian university admission. The affiliated Otto Treider Idrett AS bundles sports programmes in handball, football, dance/musical, and basic training into the same school-day schedule through partnerships with Oslo Idrettssenter (strength and conditioning) and Bårdar Danseinstitutt (dance and theater). The school advertises small class sizes, personal contact teachers, free mathematics homework help, and high teacher qualifications (mostly lektorer with master's degrees). The technology stack is standard educational IT: Microsoft Teams, the iSkole learning platform, and Office 365 distributed free to students.

The revenue model rests on three streams: (1) annual tuition fees of 29,900 NOK for the 2026/2027 school year, paid in two installments of 14,950 NOK, with a 2,000 NOK enrollment fee credited toward tuition and a 25% sibling discount; (2) sports training fees of 8,500 NOK per sport per year, paid in two installments, layered on top of academic tuition; and (3) facility rental income for classrooms and auditoriums (up to 90 persons) during weekday hours. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective students apply electronically through the school's website, with two annual intake rounds (March 1 deadline and rolling until August), admission based on grade point average with weight on conduct and attendance, supported by Facebook activity, open-house events, and school-day trial visits. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
