WHAT IS A FOLK HIGH SCHOOL?
This is a place where the students and the teachers have the freedom to work with subjects and questions they find important. It is common knowledge that people learn more if they are motivated. This kind of school does not use notes or grades to make you learn. We want you to learn what you want to learn. The desire to learn and develop yourself is one of the most important things you are in possession of. We want you to relocate this feeling if you have lost it. A stay at a folkhighschool will help you understand how important you are, and make you aware of all the opportunities that lie ahead of you.
