Rønningen Folkehøgskole

“It’s a rich cultural offer,” explains Svein Harsten, principal of the Oslo-based school. “We have a very wide variety of subjects to choose from, and activities to partake in, including music, elite sports, creative arts, design and dance.” With 190 students throughout the school, the Norwegian class welcomes 15 new students from around the world each year. “These students combine learning the Norwegian language and culture with our other range of subjects and activities, which makes it a unique offer,” Harsten explains. The school is located on the outskirts of the city, close to the forest, which means that it is both green and urban at the same time.
