Arendal municipality has a decentralised school structure with 16 municipal primary and secondary schools, organised as independent entities with separate rectors and management groups.

The municipality has a total of approx. 5,000 pupils in the primary and lower secondary schools. Arendal municipality is in an ongoing change of the school structure. Two primary schools (1st - 7th years) and the secondary school for one school have been decided to be folded. The changes are planned to be implemented from 01.01.2027. The overall responsibility for the school area is at the school office, which follows up on joint priorities, quality work and regulations, and acts as a link between the political level and the schools. The cooperation between the school office and the schools will take place, among other things, through fixed meeting points and joint development work, at the same time that each school adapts the work to local needs.
