Trondheim katedralskole (The "Trondheim Cathedral School") (Latin: Scholae Cathedralis Nidrosiensis) is a secondary school in the center of Trondheim, next to the Nidaros Cathedral. The school was founded in approximately 1152 and is hence the oldest school in Norway. The school has a separate dance and music programme, offers Latin courses and the IB Diploma course for local students who want to travel abroad or for international students who move to the city. The school is part of UNESCO's Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet.)
