FAQ about Rønde Folk High School

What is a folk high school?

A folk high school is a unique Danish learning institution focused on personal growth, community, and lifelong learning. There are no exams or grades—instead, learning is driven by passion, curiosity, and the desire to explore new subjects in an informal setting.

We welcome both Danish and international students. For international students, we offer a dedicated program where courses are designed in English and include Danish language and cultural elements, ensuring you can fully experience life at a Danish folk high school—even if you don’t speak Danish.
