Do you want to live in the middle of one of the country's best hunting grounds?

At Pasvik Folkehøgskole, the students hunt grouse, ptarmigan, foxes, ducks and muskrat every two kilometers around the school. 

Do you want to experience the best of Scandinavian hunting, whether the dream is the big elk bull or wild boar hunting in southern Sweden? If you don't have a hunting license yet, you can obtain it at the start of the school year. Over the course of the school year you will become a competent hunter and learn everything there's to know.

You will experience this:

Your teacher is an experienced competitive shooter and shooting instructor. The experience you gain here will benefit you throughout your hunting life. The year of 100% Hunting gives you knowledge, experience and skills when it comes to hunting, shooting, game knowledge and much more.

We place great emphasis on learning about game from mountains, forests and lakes. Taking care of the game also means becoming better acquainted with various food traditions, such as smoking and drying meat, and also the preparation of hides and furs.

Foreign students

Pasvik Folkehøgskole has a program for foreigners who want to explore life in Norway and learn Norwegian. You follow one of our main subjects and study Norwegian for 8 hours a week. We currently have students from the Netherlands, the U.S., Germany, the U.K. and Scandinavia.

The school

Our school has a climbing wall, a gym, a swimming pool, football fields, ski tracks and three saunas. We have a big dining hall, where students share their meals and a common area with a piano. We have several dorms, which have been renovated recently with single and double rooms. Outside the school there's plenty of opportunities for outdoor life, hunting and fishing. The school also has its own dog kennel with around 30 Alaskan huskies. In summer, we go canoeing and hiking, whereas in winter we go skiing, kiting, and ice fishing. One of the school's three saunas is located right next to the Pasvik river, so you get to watch the northern lights in winter during sauna and get to take ice baths.

Our values

We emphasize tolerance, human dignity and equality. We are concerned with respect for cultural backgrounds, different sexual orientations, identities, political views and views on life. We are proud that our students get involved in everything from the PRIDE parade to solidarity work. Our core values ​​are diversity, human development, community and joy of nature. With us, you get to be exactly who you are.
