Develop your leadership skills, take responsibility and make a difference in the school community. A second-year program focused on guidance, teamwork and personal growth.
The Leadership Development program is a second-year course for students who want to grow as leaders and take an active role in building the school community. As a participant, you become part of the team that contributes to a safe, inclusive and inspiring environment for all students at Hallingdal Folk High School.
Throughout the year, you’ll gain practical experience in leadership, communication and teamwork. You’ll learn how to plan and lead activities, handle conflicts, support others and reflect on your own role as a leader. Weekly guidance sessions and close follow-up help you build confidence and self-awareness.
You’ll also explore topics such as psychology, values, cooperation, and the balance between leading and supporting others. Each student is connected to one of the school’s main courses and works alongside both staff and students in everyday life.
No previous leadership experience is required, just motivation, engagement and a desire to make a positive difference. After the year, you’ll receive a diploma and a personal statement describing your leadership practice.

Vi avslutter skoleåret med en uforglemmelig fellestur til Italia – nærmere bestemt vakre Gardasjøen! Her samles alle linjene til sol, opplevelser og fellesskap før vi tar farvel for sommeren.
Området byr på alt: spektakulære fjell, varme kvelder, krystallklart vann og små landsbyer fulle av italiensk sjarm.
Elevene kan prøve seg på klatring og via ferrata, stisykling, bading, Gardaland og byliv med shopping og gelato i hånda.
Vi spiser ekte italiensk mat, nyter livet ved innsjøen og får tid til å bare være sammen – uten stress, men med masse latter, sol og minner for livet.
☀️ En perfekt avslutning på året – der fellesskap, eventyr og god stemning står i sentrum!
In Green Living you’ll learn about gardening, recycling and sustainable habits in everyday life. We plant, compost and find simple ways to live closer to nature – together, outdoors and hands-on.
A year at Hallingdal Folkehøgskole is about so much more than the line you choose.
At our school, community comes first.
You’ll live with people who might become your best friends for life, sharing meals, adventures, laughter and late-night talks.
Join a game in the gym, read a good book in the library, sing in the school choir, or take part in our fun electives on Fridays and Mondays.
Get inspired by guest speakers at Saturday seminars, express yourself creatively on program evenings, cook together in our kitchen or relax in the cozy common room after a long day in the mountains.
However you spend your time, the Hallingdal spirit will always be with you!
Switch – Park & Powder: Over 100 days on snow! Park riding, off-piste skiing and pure mountain joy.
Bratt – Climbing & Adventure: From indoor training to real peaks – climbing, ice and mountain life all year.
