Trondheim International School will be part of the traditional children’s parade in town for the 6th time and we hope that as many of you as possible can join the events planned for the day. But most importantly, we would like all of our school children in the parade! We would like the public to notice our fantastic contribution to the Trondheim school community!

Please click here to view the program for 17th May!

We are now offering the students a lot of activities during the afternoon and in the morning. The clubs will be teachers, SFO staff and MYP students. The clubs will be open for students in Year 1-6.

We want your child to stay in our safe environment highly educated after school activities.

Click here for (Descriptions for Clubs) and (April ASL) for more information regarding some clubs which are divided into age groups and some have limited space.

So please sit down with your child and look through the clubs. As soon as they have found something they are especially interested in, you can sign up by emailing Ms.Mascha (mascha@this.no) your child’s name, the year level and which club they want to join. The clubs will start in week 17 (23.04.2012). You can choose only one club a day because they all run at the same.

The students come down to the lunchroom after school, get a snack and then they will go into their clubs from 15.00-16.30. They need to be picked up or leave the school at 16.30. Please let me know about your childs transport details.

*If the student has a sibling joining a club too, the sibling pays 300,-/club/month.

Homework clubs in the morning and all MYP clubs run for free.

For SFO students access to the clubs is included in their SFO fee, but they need to sign up too.

You need to sign up for one period with one month notice.

If you have any questions about the after school clubs please contact me at

Our elective program is designed to achieve our school goals and is in line with our commitment to:

• Provide a diversity of educational experiences for the “whole child”
• Provide equal opportunities for all students to learn and succeed in an area that interests them by delivering structured and diverse curriculum choices
• Lead in education innovation
• Increase opportunities for structured learning interactions between students
• Provide opportunities for all students to see different points of view and learn from each other

In the booklet you will find a list of electives we will be providing for 9 weeks from 11th of April to 30th of May 2012. There will be a celebration event for electives on 13th of June.

As you may know our school has been involved in a Comenius project that involves 5 other countries (Bulgaria, Turkey, Poland, Germany and Romania). The trips that we have taken so far are; to Romania (23^rd – 29^th October 2011) and to Turkey (25^th-31^st March 2012). In May (12^th- 19^th).

Now it is our turn to host the visiting students and teachers from these countries in our school community. For this to happen we need the support of the school community to host the visiting students. At the moment, we definitely have 13 students coming in the MYP age range.  There will be various arranged activities throughout the week with our visitors. A detailed agenda of these activities is being developed by the teachers in our school. These activities will be aligned with our project’s aims.

Our projects main aims are:

• Acquaint ourselves with history of our nations and others to learn openness and tolerance.

• Young generation lives in the present so the aim of the project is to interest schoolchildren in history.

• Familiarize students with historical events connected with their region, get to know places, arouse students’ interest from the past and its influence on the present.

• Learning about history of the other European countries and finally the connection between history and culture of their own nations and their impact on the present Europe’s shape.

• Finding cultural identity, especially by migrants.

• Workshop for the exchange teaching methods of history, culture, literature.

• Development of language skills concerned with daily routines.

• Development of language skills concerned with the main topic of the project

If you and your family are willing and able to host a visitor from these schools,  please fill in the form (click here!) and return it to the office as soon as possible.
