Live and study together for 22 or 18 weeks.

A big part of Folk High (boarding) School is living and studying together 24/7.

Most of our dormitory rooms are for two students, but we also have some with room for four.

We all eat our meals together in the dining hall and everyone helps out with cleaning and kitchen duty, but because there are approx. 70 students from all over the world, living at the school, this is easily done.

You might have a class with your room mate, you might not. We make sure to mix national and international students when assigning rooms.

Learning for your own sake. No exams, no grades.

We believe that you should learn for your own sake, not to get high grades. Learning because you find it interesting and enjoy it, not because you have to. This is something you will find is true for all Folk High Schools in Denmark not just Vrå Folk High School.
