The school is most known nationally, and to a small extent internationally, for its many successful 'youth enterprises'.

The school is situated near a small forest, Hovskogen, and the city centre lies within easy walking distance.

The school has some 160 employees, including everything from teachers and librarians, to cleaners and janitors.

Fresh newspapers and magazines, both local and international, are also made available to the students.

The school library has twelve thin clients as well as ten laptops the students can use at any time.
