Yes, we live in many ways in a great country, also when it comes to the conditions of the young people in society.
The folk high schools in Norway offer young people who have finished upper secondary school a year of schooling where there is no focus on vocational education. It is common to go to folk high school right after high school. Most folk high school students are between 18 and 25 years old,
The young people join an inclusive social community, where they can be themselves and grow together with others. With professional scope and surprising activities, the students get memories and learning for the rest of their lives.
Folkehøgskole is the world’s freest school. At the folk high school, there are no grades, syllabus or exams. They believe that young people learn better without pressure.
At folk high school, students get to try out a subject in practice and not just immerse themselves in theory. They receive close follow-up from committed teachers. The classes are usually small, with only 10–20 students.
