Are you curious about the Norwegian society and how we live our lives? With us you can experience Norwegian culture and learn Norwegian by living with Norwegian students and travelling around Norway.
Language
You will learn Norwegian in an active and exciting way through activities, written and digital exercises to be able to read, speak and understand Norwegian for everyday use.
Culture
We will participate in many cultural events at the school or at various places around Norway. You will experience typical Norwegian activities, such as skiing, hiking in the forest and mountains, picking berries and fishing, dog sledding, going on cabin trips, canoeing, spending the night outside, watching the northern lights, sitting around the campfire, cooking outside, visiting farms and many more activities according to your interest. We will also visit sculpture parks and various museums, such as The Munch Museum, the home of Henrik Ibsen and Edvard Grieg and the National Gallery.
Society
You will live with Norwegian students and get firsthand experience about Norway. We will also have a look at political models and see how Norway and the Nordic countries are built up, and how our democracy works.
History
We will visit historical places and main cities like Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim, The Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, stave churches, the Norwegian Folk Museum and many other places to understand the Norwegian history.
Trips
We will go on many trips during the school year. We will of course travel throughout Norway, and we will visit other folk high schools in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. During the holidays you have the chance to travel around Europe or visit the hometown of other students.
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.
