The school will open at 07:30 daily and supervision will be provided for all students in a designated area. If parents wish to have their children outside, the playground will not be supervised until 08:00 every morning.

Important note: The school needs 1 month's notice of any change in SFO (skolefritiidsordning-translates roughly as After-School Services) hours for a child, as this can impact how many assistants are working at a time.

The amounts for SFO will be as follows:

Parents will receive information via mail about SFO. SFO enrollment for students needs to be done per term so we can effectively manage these sessions with resources and the correct amount of staff. Please contact us if you have any questions. 

The main goal of after-school services is to provide student supervision for students after normal school hours.  In addition to this, we wish to ensure that after-school services is, as much as possible, an extension of learning, where students will investigate opportunities to apply the knowledge and skills they have obtained in lessons.

The activities in the after-school club will be oftentimes art and craft oriented. In addition to this we will continuously explore opportunities to take students off-site on hikes and other outdoor activities and invite guest speakers and other parties in to work with the students during this period.

Fees explained

As you can see from the explanation above, the fees for SFO are 450 NOK per day and 2250 NOK for full enrollment per month. For organisation purposes we request that parents enroll their child for the full term. We will enroll further assistants based on student numbers. 

How does the application process work?

After you submit your application, your name and that of your child will be registered in the system. Essentially, the application is an expression of interest. When we are able to offer you a place we will email you with the offer and a contract. If you wish to accept the offer then you should sign and return the contract and pay the admin fee (NOK2000) by the date indicated in the email. When we have received the contract and payment we will send an email confirming this.

How are our applications processed?

The Board of Asker International School has adopted the following criteria for prioritising admissions to the school:

1.  The school is open to all children of school age.

2. If the number of applicants exceeds the school's capacity, the following groups of students are given priority:

1. The children of staff.
2. Siblings of current enrolled students.
3. Former students of Asker International School that have been to school outside Norway for at least 6 months. (updated September 2020)
4. Application date.

Applicants will be asked to indicate on the application if they meet one or more criteria. 

We will begin to offer places for grade 1 at the beginning of November of the year before the students will start school. After this date, we will send out contracts based on the criteria specified above. There will be a continuous admission until we reach our capacity of 60 places in grade 1. 

For all grades we ask parents for a minimum of 3 months notice when leaving, and if spaces become available during the school year then we try to fill the places as soon as possible. AIS will accept new students as long as capacity allows. Students will go on a waiting list after capacity is reached. 

You do not have to re-apply if you don’t get a place during the school year, indeed you cannot have more than one application in our system for a student. We will contact all of those on the waiting lists in March each year to confirm that you wish to remain on the waiting list for the next year.
