A year full of adrenaline, challenges, travels and a strong sense of community – whether you want to test limits, build strength, feel the rush, create big events or live life at your own pace. Experience action, new knowledge and memories for life with courses that challenge body, mind and heart, and memories for life

Trondheimsfjord – Norway’s rawest Folk High School –  a the year that challenges you!

This is the school for you who want to feel the pulse and push boundaries – in your own way. Choose your course and get a year filled with action, knowledge and adventures that stay with you for life. Some courses give you a taste of Norway’s toughest professions, focusing on training, emergency response, and demanding scenarios. Others focus on speed, running, event planning, or simply living life at your own pace – with travels, cultures, and memories to last a lifetime.

The school is beautifully located by the fjord, surrounded by forest and fields, just 20 minutes from Trondheim. Here, the calm of nature meets the energy of the city, combined with activities ranging from adrenaline on the motorsport track and physical challenges to friendship, creativity, and shared adventures.

Travel is part of the package. Each course has its own goals for the travels– from sun and training in Lanzarote to cultural encounters in Singapore or high-energy action in Florida. Travel is optional and in some cases you can choose between several study trips. Everyone joins in on the big school trip to Greece at the end of the year, a highlight where the whole school community creates friendships and memories across all the different courses.

At Trondheimsfjord, you learn with body, mind, and heart. There are challenges for the bold, space for the cautious, and an environment that pushes you, supports you, and makes the year unforgettable.

Trondheimsfjord Folk High School – bolder, tougher, and more real than you ever expected.

What I like about our course is that we can drive motorcross, and I enjoy the mechanical work, being in the garage. Regarding folk high school in general, I enjoy all the social and active things you can do throughout the year.

This has been a exciting year where I have learnt a lot. I have done a lot of things I never would have done elsewhere, like visiting prisons in the States. I have also learnt about the different emergency response profession, and the legal system.
