School Fees

OIS charges a 2,500 NOK non-refundable application fee for the processing and review of a student application. This is per student and applies only to the year applying for. This fee does not carry forward to future applications.

In addition to the annual fees, new students will be invoiced a 15.000 NOK new student registration fee, per student.

This is a one-time payment for new students admitted to Year 1 or above and is non-refundable.

If a student joins at the Pre-School level, this registration fee will be assessed when they re-enrol for Year 1. 

OIS charges each family who confirms their intention to return to OIS for the upcoming school year a non-refundable 10,000 NOK deposit (per child) to reserve their space. This is not an extra fee, as this deposit is applied to the invoice that is sent for the upcoming fall term. 

Families who are undecided on their return may elect to pay this deposit to secure their child(ren)'s place, regardless of situation.

Seats will be released to new applicant families if the deposit is not received by the designated due date (normally, mid-March).

OIS invoices school fees during two billing periods:

1. Fall term (Billing Invoice 1):
   1. Typically due on or around the 15th of May (preceding the upcoming school year) for all newly admitted and re-enrolling families.
   2. This instalment represents roughly 45% of total annual school fees.
2. Winter and Spring terms (Billing Invoice 2):
   1. Typically due on or around 1 December preceding the beginning of the winter term.
   2. This instalment represents roughly the remaining 55% of total annual school fees.

Re-Enrolment Deposit:

Early in each calendar year, OIS sends a form to all current OIS families, who confirm, decline, or indicate that they are undecided on returning.

For those families who confirm that they are returning to OIS for the next school year, they will be invoiced a non-refundable 10,000 NOK deposit per student in March preceding the next school year to reserve their place. This deposit is deducted from the school fees of Billing Invoice 1, which is sent in May preceding the next school year. Families who are undecided are given the option of paying this deposit to reserve the place.

Each year, OIS may choose to admit a limited number of reduced rate paying local families, only if there is still space availably after re-enrolment and review of all new Category 1 and 2 applicants.

This is referred to as Category 3 in both the application and OIS Admissions Policy, but is not a guarantee.

For 2023-24, the reduced rate fees are:

Because OIS is an independent not-for-profit school that does not receive Norwegian government funding, reduced rate (Category 3) space is offered on a limited basis. Current OIS families are not eligible to move to this category.
