For international students and young adults who want to experience, learn, and live in Norway. A safe, inclusive year with nature, language, culture, friendship, and everyday life in Norway.

On this program, you learn about Norway through experiences, community, and hands-on practice—out in nature, on trips to different places, and on campus. Here we build confidence and a sense of safety, strengthen your language skills, make new friends, and get to know Norwegian culture, values, and everyday life. You need no prior knowledge—only curiosity and a willingness to try.

The program is tailored for young people who are new to Norway—international students.

An inclusive year that gives you:
• Confidence in using the language
• Insight into Norwegian culture and society
• Joy in nature and a sense of achievement
• New friends and community
• Skills and confidence to take the next step

Examples of trips and activities:

The school is situated in Seljord, a village in the middle of southern Norway, surrounded by mountains, forests and lakes. Only 3 hours by bus from Oslo you will find yourself in this picturesque scenery in Telemark county.

In addition to the major groups all students take part in the morning assembly, seminars and the school choir. You can choose from a range of electives.

As most classes will be in Norwegian we recommend learning some basic Norwegian before coming to school.
