Skjærgårdsskolen was a Norwegian elementary school run by the non-profit foundation Portveien Barnearbeid. Skjærgårdsskolen applied for and received accreditation and government funds to operate as a private elementary school in 2001. At the time of application, music teacher Kjell Halltorp was headmaster of the school. When they applied, Portveien Barnearbeid expected to open the school in August 2002.
The school opened in August 2002 and had between 49 and 60 pupils until it closed.
It was later discovered that Skjærgårdskirken (a church), represented by Pastor Glenn Rasmussen, was responsible for running the school and not Portveien Barnearbeid as had been stated. The school was strongly criticized in the media for its poor working conditions and for the teaching of the gift of tongues. In 2005 the school lost its government grant due to economic and administrative disorder. The school had to return a substantial amount of the funds it had received from the government. The school did not lose its license to teach elementary school children, though.
