Globalskolen is a Norwegian online school offering courses to expatriate children.

The website states:

"Globalskolen provides education in the three subjects included in "Complementary education for children abroad": Norwegian, Social Studies and Religion & Ethics from 1st to 10th grade. Norwegian as a second language is organized in separate classes."

"Students who take part in the scheme shall have instruction at a level equivalent minimum 1.5 clock hours per week for half a school year (15 of weeks) or minimum 1.5 clock hours per week in a school year (30 of weeks)."

Further information

Globalskolen has historically been a partner in the Expatica Virtual Classroom alongside Danes Worldwide (Denmark), Edufax (Netherlands) and Deutsche Fernschule (Germany). However, the 'virtual schooling' elements of both Fernschule and Danes Worldwide remain unclear.
