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.
For you eager to learn Norwegian, live in a cozy Norwegian town, and explore nature and culture. Open to all levels with motivation and a desire to grow in language and community!
In addition to your Norwegian classes you will also particiapate in joint activities such as:
Motivation to learn and improve your Norwegian every day
Openness to live and engage in a close-knit community in a small Norwegian town
Willingness to take part in school activities and contribute to a positive group spirit
If this sounds like you, welcome to Solbakken!
This course is for people who are serious about learning Norwegian—not only in theory, but in practice. You’ll be challenged to speak, listen, and engage in Norwegian every single day, in both academic and everyday settings. Whether you're starting from scratch or already have some knowledge, we tailor the teaching to meet your level and help you advance.
We believe language is best learned through doing—so we bring it to life. Our excursions include forest hikes, cultural visits, theatre trips, and small adventures in and around Oslo. You’ll learn the names of trees and wild animals in Norwegian, shop in Norwegian, and maybe even dream in Norwegian by the end of the year.
At Solbakken, you live in a close, creative community alongside students from other programs like theatre and film. This means you also get to take part in shared classes, social life, festivals, and activities. It’s a unique opportunity to practice your Norwegian in real conversations every day—and to become part of something much bigger than a language course.

For oss på Solbakken er det viktig at elevene opplever mye ulik kunst og kultur! I slutten av skoleåret reiser derfor alle elevene på studietur til en europeisk teaterhovedstad! I løpet av en liten uke ser vi teater- , musikkteater- og danseforestillinger, går på museum, og blir bedre kjent med kulturlivet i den aktuelle byen.
Vi spiser sammen på ulike restauranter og du får også litt tid til å bli kjent med byen på egen hånd.
Alle linjene reiser sammen!
