Bjerke Upper Secondary School () is a high school based in Groruddalen in Oslo, Norway. It offers general academics and elite sports. 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.Tara Kelly, "Norway Apartheid: High School Segregates Classroom By Ethnicity, City Official Demands End To Practice", The Huffington Post, 27 November 2011, retrieved 20 February 2014
