The Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Asker International School

Welcome to Asker International School! 

Asker International School is 9 years old now as we enter August 2022 and a new school year. We have reached our initial target of 400 students, set back in 2012 (opening in 2013). Now, we are pushing to expand to 600 students. This change has been approved and supported by both the Department of Education and our local municipality - Asker Kommune. 

We are used to change at Asker International School. We have shared this building with multiple stakeholders over the past 9 years. We have faced new challenges on a day to day basis and have met those challenges. We thought we had seen everything and were then, as with everyone, hit by a global pandemic. Yet we continued to grow. 

And we continue still. We have a growth mindset as an organisation and have aspirations. We are, after all, role models for the students in our care and as such we need to aspire as educators. We need to reach and push and challenge ourselves, so that our students can see the merit of such endeavours and will be encouraged to do so themselves, to be the global citizen than we will need to carry us into the future. 

We are currently working hard to secure new facilities and will hopefully do so by August 2023. We have spent almost a decade embracing a drive on excellence in our practice and now, although appreciative and very fond of our current location, seek a framework that we can wrap around our endeavours. 

The journey has been challenging. There have been hardships and pitfalls and there has been sadness. I have personally lost friends along the way. However there has also been joy and celebration, laughter and dance. The idea of lifelong learning is never about the destination. Our journey has formed our philosophy on education and we look forward to the next step, carrying forward our experiences, as we try to create an environment where the global citizen of tomorrow can truly develop and grow. 

Looking forward to meeting you on the journey.
