Get to Know Bergen
As a student at Fana Folk High School, you'll experience all that Bergen has to offer. In the city, you can enjoy theater, concerts, and exhibitions. Bergen also hosts a variety of festivals. During the school year, there are international film festivals, theater festivals, and several music festivals in the city.

We go on trips throughout the year, both within Norway and abroad. At Fana, we have school-wide trips and class-specific trips where you travel with your course group.

During your stay in Bergen, you'll make friends, larn some Norwegian, and explore Norwegian culture and society. We have many international students - some come to learn Norwegian, while others simply want a year at a folk high school in Norway.
Our language courses are designed for both beginners and those with some prior knowledge of Norwegian.
Information about Language
Most of our teaching is in Norwegian, but we offer some translation to English.
Check the course descriptions, or send us an e-mail, for more information about the langugage requirements for each course. We'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
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.
