A folk high school by Trondheim – where city life meets nature. Discover your passions, push your limits, and create unforgettable experiences. Dare to try something new!

Near Trondheim – close to the city, close to nature.

Rødde Folk High School is located just outside Trondheim – the “big little city” offering food, history, art, culture, nature, shopping, and much more. At the same time, you’ll have mountains and forests right nearby, with opportunities for hiking, climbing, and skiing in Vassfjellet. It truly gives you the best of both worlds: the energy of the city and the calm of nature.

A school day at Rødde can mean fresh snow under your feet, hours in the studio creating new tracks, cultural exchange on exciting trips abroad, and countless opportunities to try something new. At Rødde, you don’t just pursue your interests – you share experiences and learn together with people who may become your closest friends.

Here, you’ll have the freedom to learn and grow without the pressure of exams and grades. You’ll build knowledge and skills while also experiencing personal growth and development. This is a place to create, explore, and step outside your comfort zone in a safe environment. No wonder our students often say: “This is the best year of my life!”

The year at Rødde has, in many ways, defined who I am. I have discovered more about who I am and what I want to do in the future. I have had a year to focus on myself and share my passion for climbing with a motivated group. (Translated).
