Dette er ei linje for "basic friluftsliv", mye tid ute men uten å dra på de mer ekstreme turene. Du får likevel utfordringer og oppleve mestring ute i all slags vær til alle årstider. Du lærer grunnlegende ferdigheter slik at du kan beherske et allsidig friluftliv. 

Du kommer til "Skolen i villmarka" og her kan du faktisk drive et aktivt friluftliv rett utenfor skolens område. I tillegg skal vi utforske og dra på mange turer i de fineste naturområdene i Finnmark. For å nevne noe så starter skoleåret med en kanotur i Øvre Pasvik nasjonalpark og ut på høsten blir det topptur til Rastigaisa i Tana.

I januar når det er mørketid og kaldt i Finnmark, pakker vi sekken for en backpackertur i sørlige Afrika. Her blir det friluftsliv i et annet klima og i helt andre naturtyper, og du får en reiseopplevelse som vil sette dype spor i deg som menneske.

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.
