KVT stands for Christian High School Trøndelag. They are a private high school located at Tiller in Trondheim. 

The school offers study specialization, health and education and supplementary education for general study competence. 

KVT is based on the view of the view of life law in the Social Security Act. This means that the school, in addition to providing good teaching, has an extra focus on the Christian value base. 

The School was very welcoming and we got to visit a number of classrooms in the morning. The students English was very good and we had a discussion with them about Child care in Ireland in Benta's class. We also observed a group activity in an History class where the students were researching different events in History and creating multiple choice questions for each other.

The principal invited us in to his office where he has a very open door policy. He still teaches some classes which allows him to stay in touch with student needs. He said that parental involvement was high and behavior problems in the school were low.

The school had excellent facilities for students and teachers and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.​

brainyquote.com We returned to the HQ for a final discussion and wrap up. The Norwegian delegation expressed their pleasure at their experience and made some lovely presentations to some of the Irish hosts. There was general feedback on the overall success of the event.  At this point the thoughts began to turn to the return trip by the Irish participants to Norway. We began to learn some Norwegian phrases :-) Gud dog - good day   Tus en Tuc    - thank you   Higgily or vaera hairr    -  Lovely to meet you  Higgly or ble inver tert   -  Lovely to meet you  There was a suggestion for presentation to the Norwegian pupils. Some ideas include  perspectives on Norway/ Irish   education.   Organise some small skills demo in English .   Ideas for integrating ideas into Norwegian curriculum or something that would be useful to know eg an explanation on effecti...
