The school is located in what we call the pearl of the southern archipelago. Out of the window you can see straight towards the port of Ny - Hellesund where Nordal Grieg wrote the song "Til ungdommen" in his time. This is where our first joint trip goes.. Accommodation in a tent, lavvo, hammock or on a sleeping pad under the open sky. Bathing, bonfire, play and seriousness. We enjoy the scents of late summer and look out to sea, where Denmark is almost visible on the horizon, and get to know each other in an unforgettable way. Friendships are made here.
The school's last joint trip goes to the same place. Summer is in the offing, and it's quite a different group that's on tour. Safe in each other, but melancholy has taken over from anticipation. A feeling that something will soon be over, along with the knowledge that something new is coming. This new thing, which will now be created together with the people you have around you, is no longer as frightening. This will be a trip filled with good memories and strong emotions.
Between these two trips there is a lot of time and space. There is much to be created. Our different classes go on their own trips and spend a lot of time together at school. But every now and then we do some joint trips. It can be to the Pulpit Rock, cinema, theatre, bowling, Zip-line, and it can be to Lindesnes lighthouse or Lista. The animal park is also a natural destination for the school when we are first in these parts.
The liberal folk high schools are built on values that are not based on one particular belief. They encourage students with different interests and beliefs to apply.
