Does AppleStore offer K-12 discount? If they do, does it include Europe too?

They do offer K-12 discounts to most schools.

Click HERE to see if your school is one of them in Europe.

I found the phone number to the Norwegian AppleStore and I found out that they offer K-12 discounts, but to get that you have to do your order by phone.

Yay! I can finally buy my dualy 2GHz G5

I will be waiting a bit more, before I make my order. I will not get it any faster if I order today then if I order in a week or two, so I'll wait until MacExpo in Paris is done

Are they just for teachers or students also?

Thomas, you may, indeed, have to order by phone but let me tell you what I discovered in the United States.

When the Apple stores first opened near me I called and asked if I could get the disount in person. They said no, only from the Eduation Store online. Last week I went to an Apple store in California and asked again. They said I would get the discount if I could bring proof of being a teacher, such as a pay-stub.

Only limitation was that I could only buy Apple products. Not HP, Canon, etc. You might want to double check. Might save you a shipping charge. Those G5s are heavy!
