Berg skole, building in Norway
Berg skole is a primary school in Oslo and a protected cultural property built in the early 20th century. The building consists of three two-story structures in a classical style, with the southernmost building completed in 1933.
The school was founded in 1925 as Ullevål middelskole and moved to a new building in 1929, designed by architect Georg Greve. During the Second World War, the building served as a military hospital from 1940 to 1945 before resuming its primary role as a school after the war.
The school takes its name from its location in an Oslo neighborhood. Today, students and teachers use the grounds daily for lessons, playground activities, and community gatherings that make it a living center for the local area.
The building is located in a quiet residential area of Oslo and is easily accessible. Visitors should note that it is an active school, so visits are best arranged outside school hours.
The school served as a high school with the International Baccalaureate program from 1981 to 2013, attracting accomplished students and producing several notable alumni in media, sports, and politics. After transitioning to a primary school in 2013, it now serves younger students in the community.
