Moving forward – together!

At Resilient Youth, you become part of a safe and inclusive school environment. Here, it’s all about finding opportunities, building community, and taking back everyday life – step by step.

We focus on growth through positive experiences! Together, we work on routines, social skills, and confidence - through activities, shared moments, and new experiences.

Our classroom is in both the main building at the school and out on class trips.

Here’s what you’ll experience:

A year for personal growth

Throughout the year, you’ll strengthen your ability to handle daily life – from laundry and sleep routines to cooking and cleaning. You’ll live and work closely with others, learn organically about friendship, teamwork, and independence.

In addition to your core program, you'll take part in shared courses with the whole school, choose electives, and try out new hobbies.

After a year at Robust, you’ll have created great memories, new friendships – and feel stronger and more ready for the future.

My time at Evje Folk High School with Robust was one of the most memorable years of my life. I loved having the opportunity to try so many new things, and I’ve learned so much in just one year that I will remember for the rest of my life.
