The founder of the School is Mosse Jørgensen. The New School is a semi-private/semi-public, not for profit organisation owned by the parents of the children.

Pedagogy was then a novel science as a humanistic science within the University, Academic sector. The New school was precedented by a high school, The Research High School in Oslo, founded by Mosse Jørgensen in 1969, based on the same research and tenets as the New School of 2004 in Oslo, Norway. The movement behind is understood as the movement creating the Unity school reform in 1936 in Norway, and is associated with the international school reform-movement for a child friendly, child oriented school. This reform made the Norwegian school system to be the first in the World to found a national public educational system on the findings of the scientific research on the novel science of Pedagogy.

The Heltberg School, formally Heltberg and Reehorst Real and Latin School, informally known as Heltberg's Student Factory, was a Norwegian gymnasium that offered a fast track to the examen artium university entrance exam which admitted pupils as students. It was founded by Henrik Anton Heltberg (1806–1873) and Wessel Joachim Andreas Reehorst (1824–1910) in 1846. It was Norway's best known intensive gymnasium in the 19th century, and was popular with pupils from the districts – i.e. the areas outside the capital of Christiania and its immediate surroundings. At the time schooling at this level was all private in Norway and the country had relatively few gymnasiums. Only a very small percentage, mainly men who intended to pursue a career as lawyers, physicians or priests, attended a gymnasium in preparation for taking the university entrance exam. The Heltberg School is famous is Norwegian cultural and literary history due to being attended by many notable figures such as Henrik Ibsen, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Aasmund Olavsson Vinje and Jonas Lie. In Denmark and Norway pupils became students by virtue of passing the university entrance exam and thus being matriculated at the university, hence the school's nickname, Heltberg's Student Factory. Although himself never a student of Heltberg, Arne Garborg famously portrayed him in his novel Bondestudentar (1883). A similar school that existed 1915–1955, Haagaas School, was described by Mosse Jørgensen as "the new Heltberg [school]."
