Sentrum videregående skole

What Sentrum videregående skole does

Sentrum videregående skole is a public upper secondary school (videregående skole) in Kongsvinger, Innlandet, Norway, founded in 1996 and operated by Innlandet fylkeskommune (Innlandet County Municipality) as part of Norway's state-funded secondary education system. The school delivers both academic (studieforberedende) and vocational (yrkesfag) tracks across 12+ programs spanning construction, electrical/IT, healthcare, media, design, hospitality, sales/service, and a dedicated Tilrettelagt avdeling (adapted department), plus a Skarnes branch location for Vg1 Bygg og anlegg and a prison education department (Fengselet).

Its technology stack is built on standardized public-sector infrastructure rather than proprietary systems: Visma InSchool handles student records, schedules, grades, and parent communication (accessed via Feide SSO for students/teachers and ID-porten for parents); Microsoft 365 and Teams provide the productivity layer; Safe Exam Browser (SEB) secures written exams, with Clarify offered as an accessibility accommodation for privatists and documented learners. Student-facing services include the tiered Elev-PC program (Lenovo ThinkPad E14/E16/P16s at a 1,398 NOK annual co-payment covered by Lånekassen equipment grants), digital student ID via the Min InSchool app, school transport through MinSkyss/Innlandstrafikk, equipment and housing stipends, and the county-wide 'Trygt hjem' safe-return taxi service.

The entity is not a commercial business: education is tuition-free, revenue is replaced by Innlandet fylkeskommune appropriations, and there is no pricing model in the conventional sense beyond the nominal student PC co-payment and textbook replacement fees. Day-to-day operations are led by Rektor Tone Cicilie Danielsdatter with an assistant principal and ten avdelingsleder department heads covering academic and vocational divisions. Customer acquisition is non-commercial — students are placed via the centralized Vigo.no system — and marketing is limited to an annual Åpen skole (open house), the school website, Facebook, and Instagram. The school holds Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) environmental certification.
