Learn to speak and understand Norwegian – while living, creating and learning together with Norwegian students at Solbakken Folk High School.
Do you want to learn Norwegian, understand the culture, and actually live the language—in a warm, supportive, and creative community? At Solbakken Folk High School, just an hour from Oslo, you get the time, space, and encouragement to grow your language skills through daily use, close mentorship, and an exciting blend of lessons and real-life experiences.
You'll have customized Norwegian instruction each day in a small group, with a dedicated teacher helping you reach your goals—whether that's conversational fluency or preparing for official exams like B1 or B2. The teaching combines grammar, vocabulary, and oral practice with fun and varied methods tailored to how people actually learn.
But Norwegian at Solbakken isn't just classroom work. We use nature, history, art, and culture as your extended classroom. From learning how to bake waffles to watching a play at the National Theatre, from wandering through deep forests to visiting iconic places like the Munch Museum or Viking landmarks—you will experience Norway from the inside. We take you to Finnskogen, Kongsvinger, Odalstunet, Oslo and the Ibsen Museum and the Munch Museum, the National Theatre, the Castle and much more – everything within less than an hour away from our school.
This is your chance to truly immerse yourself in language and life in Norway, together with a tight-knit group of fellow students from around the world.
The liberal folk high schools are built on values that are not based on one particular belief. They encourage students with different interests and beliefs to apply.
