Or maybe you want to prepare for further studies in Scandinavian subjects?

 The school where The East meets The West
Our school’s slogan is “the school where The East meets The West”. Our Norwegian students have a great interest in Korea and Japan, and are studying subjects such as K-pop, Korean or Japanese language and Manga and webtoon. You will have many opportunities to share your own language and culture with our students, and it will be easy to find a common ground for communication and making international friends.

Here’s what you’ll learn over the course of the year

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.
