Choosing a year at Hallingdal Folk High School is choosing a year together with young people from all over the world – from Norway, Europe and even further afield. Here different languages, cultures and histories meet, and you make friends across borders.
Here it is safe to be exactly who you are, and together we create an environment where everyone can thrive. Our everyday lives are not pre-planned – you get to help shape them, contribute to the community and be part of great moments that you take with you on your journey through life.
Living so close to each other brings laughter, experiences and challenges – but that is precisely what makes the year real. Our values – community, freedom, care and responsibility – characterize both the teaching and life at the boarding school.
We who work here are with you every step of the way. We support you, challenge you, and cheer you on – so that your year is the best it can be.
Hallingdal Folkehøgskole has been running since 1959, and thousands of students – from Norway and many other countries – have had the year of their lives here. We are a free-spirited school in the heart of Hallingdal, with an age limit of 18 and an average of around 20.
💛 Welcome to us – we look forward to getting to know you!
Beate Aas, principal
