AFS-USA Folk College in Denmark
by AFS-USA
Program Overview
If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience that blends education, culture, and personal growth, consider attending a Folk College (in Danish: højskole) in Denmark!
Folk colleges are unique, non-formal schools where you learn through experience rather than exams or textbooks. These vibrant communities welcome students eager to discover new ideas, forge friendships, and explore personal passions. You’ll live, eat, attend classes, and relax alongside fellow students and teachers—creating a close-knit, family-like atmosphere.
In this supportive environment, you're encouraged to be yourself, try new things, make mistakes, and grow from them. With the scenic Danish countryside as your backdrop—complete with rolling hills, historic towns, and charming villages—you’ll find daily inspiration for learning and self-discovery.
