Bjerke Upper Secondary School (Norwegian: Bjerke videregående skole) is a high school based in Groruddalen in Oslo, Norway. It offers general academics and elite sports. In 2000 the school changed its name from Linderud Upper Secondary School to Bjerke.
The school was notable for having introduced, in 2011, a system of segregating ethnic and white students to discourage Norwegian students from transferring to other schools.[1] [2]
