The AFS program
Go on a trip for a year, a semester, or a trimester and attend a high school in your host community. You'll live with a family selected by AFS for an unforgettable immersion experience.
AFS offers training, orientation, and activities before, during, and after your stay, and you'll meet young people from all over the world!
The school system
Most Norwegian youth attend mainstream schools with classes in business, arts, or sports. The school day runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with 15-minute breaks between classes.
The school system requires independence and maturity. Books are loaned, a laptop is required, and no uniform is required.
