Bjerke Upper Secondary School (Norwegian: Bjerke videregående skole) is an upper secondary school based in Groruddalen in Oslo, Norway. It offers general academics, media and communications, health care, and elite sports. Starting in the 2009/10 academic year it also offers music, dance and drama. In 2000 the school changed its name from Linderud Upper Secondary School to Bjerke.

The school was notable for having introduced, in 2011, a system of segregating ethnic and white students to discourage Norwegian students from transferring to other schools.[1][2]
