Our Families

The families at Haugesund International School are as diverse and vibrant as our student body, representing more than 60 nationalities from around the world. United by a shared value for international education and global mindedness, our families bring a rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and perspectives to our school community. Many parents work in a variety of professional sectors, including medicine, academia, shipping, hydroelectric energy, transportation, engineering, and other global industries, contributing to the dynamic and forward-thinking environment that surrounds our students.

Whether newly arrived in Norway or well-established in the region, HIS families are actively engaged in their children's learning and in school life. They appreciate the school’s emphasis on inquiry, personal growth, and community spirit, and often take part in events, celebrations, and collaborative learning experiences. At HIS, families are not just supporters of their children’s education, they are an integral part of a warm, inclusive, and globally connected community.
