🌴 Training trip to Monte Feliz, Gran Canaria

🌆 Trip to HYROX in Oslo
If you really want to test yourself, you can take part in one of the toughest competitions in the world within functional training!

🧗 Explore hidden gems nearby, perfect for outdoor training. 

With nine main courses and over twenty electives, you can spend the year doing what matters to you.

You’ll challenge yourself and find your own path. Maybe you want to grow stronger, both physically and mentally? Perhaps you’d like to sew your own jacket, spend your days with horses, explore Viking history or learn how to save lives?

Whatever course you choose, you’ll meet teachers who love what they do and care about their students. They’re skilled, genuine and ready to guide you so you can get the most out of your year with us.

Our folk high school lies between the wild coastline of Stad and the mighty Jostedalsbreen glacier. Nordfjordeid is just the right size. Big enough to offer what you need, yet small enough to feel personal and close.

If you want to uncover hidden gems in Norway and beyond, this is the place. You’ll experience the best of Western Norway, from surfing and swimming in Hoddevika to hiking and kayaking in breathtaking nature.

In the middle of winter, we head to the Philippines for sunshine, warmth and white beaches. You might snorkel with turtles, sleep in a beach bungalow or go island-hopping. You’ll also meet locals and experience a different way of life that stays with you long after the trip.
