Asker International School Foundation
Asker International School Foundation was established in 2012. The Foundation was established and currently operates under the Norwegian Private School Act (Privatskoleloven). The objectives of the Foundation are to offer children between 6-16 a ten-year compulsory primary and secondary school education.
The school will implement the Primary Years Programme as well as the Middle Years Programme, developed by the International Baccalaureate.

By Law the Board of AIS is required to have a quality system/routine (forsaking system) that allows it to assess whether the demands in the law and any conditions for AIS’s approval are being fulfilled.
