Application form for Folkehøgskolen Sørlandet 2025-2026

There is no closing date for folk high school applications. Students are continuously admitted either until the courses are filled up, or the school year starts.

Many courses fill up quickly. The earlier you apply, the better your chances are at getting accepted to the school. This especially applies to courses in Norwegian language and culture.

All classes are held in Norwegian, but English speakers are welcome to apply.

We offer: 1) An international course "Internasjonal - Catch Norway" designed to teach you Norwegian language in a fun and quick way. 2) Norwegian lessons one day a week, for international students joining any other courses.
