Welcome to Nordvestlandet folkehøgskole!
Nordvestlandet folkehøgskole is beautifully placed among idyllic fjords and majestic mountains in the Norwegian state of Nordmøre. A supermarket, gym hall, sports-stadion and small boat harbour are in walking distance. The cities of Molde and Kristiansund, which both have airports, are not too far away either.
The school has a proud and traditional history which goes back to 1917. The time-honoured main building is from 1923 and it is the biggest wooden building in the state of Nordmøre.
The school has five dormitories that constitute a cozy and compact school area. The students live in double or single rooms. In addition, the school offers several sitting rooms and lounges. You will get to know a lot of new friends and learn a lot by living in a dormitory.
