Ownership and Governance
Asker International School Foundation
Asker International School Foundation was established in 2012. The Foundation was established and currently operates under the Norwegian Private School Act (Privatskoleloven). The objectives of the Foundation are to offer children between 6-16 a ten-year compulsory primary and secondary school education.
The school will implement the Primary Years Programme as well as the Middle Years Programme, developed by the International Baccalaureate.
Responsibility and authority of the Board
The Board is the highest authority in Asker International School and as such the Board is specifically responsible for (see § 5.2 Privatskoleloven):
· Safeguard the long-term development of the school.
· Setting of parental school fees payable at the school.
· Approve the allocation of the school's finances.
· Ensure the adherence to Norwegian legislation governing the school.
· Monitoring that state funds to the school are being used to the benefit of AIS’s students.
· Monitoring that the school fulfils the requirements of all relevant laws and conditions under which the school was originally approved.
· Having the right and necessary competences in school. This includes the responsibility to have and execute a professional development plan.
· Appointing the school leader/ Principal
By Law the Board of AIS is required to have a quality system/routine (forsaking system) that allows it to assess whether the demands in the law and any conditions for AIS’s approval are being fulfilled. The Board must in addition have a system/routine to follow up on the outcome of such assessments or of national quality assessments undertaken by the department of Education (Utdanningsdirektoratet).
