A week or two after the school commences, we go to Fjærland together on a three-day trip. This enables us to get to know one another better, and to experience one of Norways most outstanding mountain & fjord areas. We take day hikes from base camp, and take part in activities to loosen up and become acquinted. In the evening we have dinner and gather together around the camp fire - where we chat, sing, or just relax after a day of fresh air and experiences.  After 3 days, and plenty of social activities we have built foundations we need to build friendships.  

Welcome to Sogndal folkehøgskule. We can offer a year of personal development by focusing on subjects of special interest. Our main subjects are within these areas:

Sport
Skiing & Climbing
Outdoor life
Outdoor life - Norway
Outdoor life & back country skiing
Photo Outdoor life
Skiing, trail biking & surf

Every year we have a limited number of foreign students. Our teaching program is practically oriented, we do not have a bespoke language learning program for foreign students. However, there are students from abroad almost every year; primarily from the US, the UK, and other European countries.
This means that for the individual student, most of the language learning takes place interacting with the Norwegian students and the teachers. If you actively work on learning Norwegian from the beginning, the challenges of language barriers will not stop you from full participation in the school program.
