About IB

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

By choosing the IB DP at Aust-Lofoten vgs you are making an investment in your future. The Diploma Programme is a two-year program (Vg2 and Vg3) with an international focus, and classes are taught in English.

As an IB Diploma student, you will find that both Norwegian and international universities highly value your education. Through the program, you will receive extensive training in scientific thinking and methodology, as well as have the opportunity to conduct research projects in all subjects. This will equip you with valuable skills and knowledge that will prepare you well for higher education.

Our school, Aust-Lofoten videregående skole, was authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in May 2024. We will welcome our first students to the Diploma Programme in August 2025.
