Confirmation
The students are required to attend for all classes. Approved leave of absence is only those granted by the school itself or in case of illness. The school is allowed, upon application grant a leave from obligatory education up to two weeks (ten school days), as long as the school considers this to be appropriate. Whether the leave is appropriate or not is decided by the principal based on the interest of student’s education. Students belonging to a community of faith outside Church of Norway are entitled to leave on the community's holy days. A prerequisite is that parents provide necessary teaching during the leave period. The student is not entitled to be compensated for the teaching/learning the student loses due to the leave (ref: Opplæringsloven §2-11). For the grades 8th-10th: The main rule is that any absences for 8th, 9th and 10th grade are registered on the report cards. Up to 10 school days per school year, the absences due to the approved leave based on Opplæringsloven §2-11 can be removed from the report cards upon application (Forskrift to Opplæringsloven §3-41). The parents are required to send in an application for removal of those absent days.
