Questions before applying

  • What kind of learner does Norwegian International School appear to support best?
  • How will the commute affect sleep, reading time and after-school activities?
  • What should the portfolio prove: language, curiosity, service, arts, sports or self-care?
  • If there is an interview, will the child face individual tasks, group play, parent questions or written observation?

Tonight's practice

Use short, varied practice instead of rehearsed scripts. Prepare one parent explanation of fit, one child self-introduction and one calm recovery phrase for questions the child does not understand.
