Folk high schools in brief
Folk high schools are one-year boarding schools offering a variety of exciting non-traditional and non-academic subjects, as well as academic subjects. The idea of folk high schools is learning for life, an opportunity to grow both individually, socially, and academically in small learning communities. All students live on campus in close contact with staff and their fellow students. One important part of the folk high school experience is to form a community, in and out of class.
A year at a folk high school in Norway gives you a unique opportunity to be part of the Norwegian culture, learn Norwegian language, and participate in an exciting learning community along with other young people from Norway and the rest of the world.
The first reaction most people have when they hear about Norwegian folk high schools is "I wish I had an opportunity like that!". However, a few people react with a touch of skepticism. "A school with no tests and no degrees? What's the point?" is a common question. But to characterize folk high schools in such a way is to miss the point.
