Djurslands Folkehøjskole

Djurslands Folk High School is a folk high school for everyone - including people with developmental disabilities and handicaps, because we believe that everyone has the right to an awesome folk high school experience.

About the school

We cultivate the students' resources, provide them with victories and successes while simultaneously challenging them to make the most of their potential. We work to create a safe and vibrant daily life for our students, who come from all over the country.

At Djurslands Folk High School, we offer exceptional physical, human, and academic frameworks.

Life at Djurslands Folk High School is, of course, much more than subjects and schooling. There is always plenty of debate, projects, singing, and companionship with your new friends. You gain new experiences that alter routines and inspire a desire for positive changes - whether it's about a healthy lifestyle, learning a new subject, or moving forward in life.

Sounds exciting! So come and join us!
