Official figures from UDIR

Find the right school for your child.

Search 2,625 primary and lower-secondary schools in Norway — data from the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training (Utdanningsdirektoratet, UDIR).

The school finder, school pages, and article guides are in Norwegian. This English section explains what we do and how our data works.

How it works

Three steps, from search to school choice

  1. Step 1

    Search

    Start with a municipality, a county, or the school's name — we cover every public and private primary/lower-secondary school in Norway.

  2. Step 2

    Discover

    See wellbeing, motivation, pupils per staff member, reviews, and national-test results side by side.

  3. Step 3

    Decide

    A school is much more than numbers. Use us as a starting point — then make the final call together with the school itself.
