==Growth and diversification==
The first 2232 students graduated in 1877. Until [[Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration]] (''Norges Handelshøyskole'') in [[Bergen]] was established in 1936, Oslo Commerce School provided the highest level of commercial education available in Norway. The number of pupils has increased steadily since then, especially after a 1950 reform gave economics and commerce courses the same recognition as the traditional high school subjects, and provided the right for its graduates to study at universities and colleges.<ref name="ohgt"/> This avenue of entry to post-secondary studies became popular, and after a few years many traditional upper secondary schools began offering programs in economics and commerce as well.
The first students for the new Arts and Sciences curriculum began studies in 1977; the first class graduated in 1980. When Frogner Upper Secondary School closed, 13 class groups studying commerce and office/clerical programs transferred to Oslo Commerce School; the remaining students transferred to Hartvig Nissen School.<ref name="ohgt"/> From the 2002-032002–03 school year, the school has included programs in training for the [[service sector]], for the [[travel industry]], for transport and [[logistics]] and for [[information technology]]. In addition, the school caters to [[special education|special-needs students]] and offers two preparatory class groups for minority-language students.
 
==School library==
The school library has someapproximately 79,000 books, including both fiction and non-fiction subjects, and subscribes to three newspapers and several journals.
