Berg Upper Secondary School

Berg Upper Secondary School (Norwegian: Berg videregående skole) was an upper secondary school located in Oslo, Norway. The school was established in 1925 and provided education leading to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma as well as the college preparatory "studiespesialisering" of the Norwegian school system. The school was closed in 2014, and most programs and employees moved to the new Blindern Upper Secondary School. The buildings are now the location of Berg skole. In its final years, the school had around 465 students - 108 graduating in the Norwegian system and 55 graduating with IB Diplomas each year. About 70 faculty members worked at the school. It was the first Norwegian educational institution to offer the IB Diploma (in 1978) and was a leading institution in several educational reforms. The school was ranked among the best performing schools in the International Baccalaureate system. Berg had several winners of the national science competitions. Among these are Magnus Deli Vigeland and Nina Holden, who both have won the Abel Competition.
