Understanding School in Norway – What Foreign Parents Often Get Wrong and How to Support Your Child

🎓 Moving to Norway with children? Here’s how school really works — and what can go wrong if you don’t understand the system. In this episode of Norway Perspectives, we take a deep look at how Norway’s public school system works, what it expects from foreign parents, and how misunderstandings around communication, attendance, grading, and language support can lead to serious problems for your child — both academically and legally. Norway’s schools operate with trust, independence, and digital communication tools — but if you don’t speak Norwegian, and don’t know how the system works, you may miss key messages, fall behind on permissions or attendance, or fail to help your child integrate. We explain: How Norwegian schools are structured (barnehage, barneskole, ungdomsskole, videregående) What foreign parents often assume — and what actually happens Why waiting for paper letters or calls doesn’t work How communication happens digitally — and only in Norwegian What happens if you miss messages, skip meetings, or your child has unexcused absences What it means to support your child in a system that expects “active parenting” And how to get the help you need to succeed — for you and your child This is essential viewing for any family raising school-age children in Norway. ✅ In this episode: What happens if your child misses school placement deadlines How digital portals like Visma, Min Skole, or Skooler work Why teachers expect weekly engagement from parents — in Norwegian The difference between the Norwegian grading system and what you may be used to Why children without language support often fall behind What schools expect from immigrant parents — legally and socially How school absence can lead to lost grades or reports to child welfare services 🔗 Need help navigating school communication, kommune messages, or placement in Norway?
