Experience Norway like never before by immersing yourself in Norwegian life, nature, and culture at a boarding school surrounded by the breathtaking Trollheimen mountains – said to be the home of the legendary trolls. Here, you won’t just visit Norway; you’ll live like a Norwegian, sharing your days with local students and learning the language naturally through everyday life, side by side with your Norwegian peers.

This program is not a language course in itself, but if you’re interested in diving deeper into the language, you can opt for the “Norwegian Language and Culture” course. Either way, you’ll pick up Norwegian organically by engaging with native speakers and experiencing daily life in Norway.

In Experience Norway, you’ll embark on unforgettable adventures that introduce you to the soul of this country. Trollheimen’s rugged mountains will become your playground as you explore the wilderness where ancient folklore was born.  You’ll hike through serene forests, sail along deep fjords, and gaze up at the awe-inspiring Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), understanding why Norwegians feel so connected to their environment.

In Experience Norway, you won’t just be visiting a country – you’ll become a part of it.
