Choosing a year at a folk high school with us is choosing a year where you live and interact with young people your own age – young people from different backgrounds and places. Here it is safe to be who you are, and both staff and students work together to create a good environment throughout the school year.
You will be able to help decide the everyday life we have here, and we promise you great moments that you will take with you for the rest of your life. You will be challenged to meet new and unknown people.
Living and working so closely together challenges us all. Our values of shared responsibility, community, freedom, tolerance and care should characterize both teaching and life at the boarding school. Your presence is important, and you are given tasks and responsibilities in the community.
We who work at the school are here to create your best year with you. We will challenge you and support you, and together we create the year at Hallingdal Folkehøgskule.
Hallingdal Folkehøgskule was founded in 1959, and several thousand students have attended the school since its inception. The school is a liberal folk high school in the heart of Hallingdal. We have an age limit of 18 and the average age is around 20 years.
Warmly welcome to us!
Nina M. Hafnor, Principal
