Compulsory school, i.e. primary and lower secondary school (grades 1 – 10) and upper secondary school (grades 11-13) have a common document: Core Curriculum for primary, secondary and adult education in Norway.  The Core curriculum presents the aims, general philosophy and information. Further curriculum guidelines for different levels  and subjects can be found to the left on this page:
