Oslo Commerce School (Norw. Oslo Handelsgymnasium) is a full-time public school in Oslo, Norway, specialising in the teaching of financial and business management.
The school was founded in 1875 as Christiania Commerce School (Norw. Christiania Handelsgymnasium) with the goal of enabling young people "who had settled on a career in commerce or other practical vocations" to receive "a complete theoretical and practical education in commercial subjects as well as a higher education in other subjects."[1]
