[10] The Skagerak schools were founded to provide a high level of education and quality teaching concerning each student.

Although relatively small, Skagerak offers students a varied curriculum with opportunities such as outdoor education, cultural trips, service, performing arts, and sport.

High School students often participate in service-oriented trips to Central Asia, Africa, and Europe.

[11][12] Sports offered at Skagerak are soccer, tennis, volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, athletics, and indoor games.

[citation needed] The annual graduation for High School students takes place during a ceremony held at the Banquet Hall at Scandic Park Hotel.

Fourth grade at Skagerak won first and second spots in the international Destination Imagination competition in 2012, which was held in Manchester, England.

[14] 21 High School students at Skagerak attended a Habitat for Humanity trip to Cluj in the Transylvania region of Romania on June 23, 2012.

Besides Romania, Skagerak has arranged similar trips to Moshi, Tanzania since 1997, where students have built classrooms, toilets, washing facilities, and more.

[17] In the 2014 school year, international trips were offered to Spain, Germany, Nepal, Paris, France, and Geneva, Switzerland.

The schools will be located in the former facilities of Slottsfjellskolen, a building near Tønsberg Fortress which was designed by Henrik Thrap-Meyer in the 1880s.

[23] The first release of national High School scores by the Ministry of Education and Research in 2016 found Skagerak to be one of the best in Norway.

The theatre group's first production, a rendition of Peer Gynt by Henrik Ibsen, was performed at Sandefjord Spa in April 2012.
