Do you want to get to know the northern Norwegian culture, experience the northern lights over the Norwegian mountains and fjords, and get familliar with the Norwegian language?

Welcome to the northern Norway

Located in the district of Helgeland, Vefsn Folkehøgskole Toppen provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the spectacular nature of the region. From majestic mountains to serene fjords, you’ll encounter the genuine beauty of the North of Norway. Just a 45-minute drive away you’ll have the world’s most beautiful coastline!  

Vefsn Folkehøgskole Toppen allows you to create lifelong memories right outside your door, surrounded by nature’s splendor. Northern Norway is one of the best places on Earth to experience the natural wonder of Aurora borealis, and attending Vefsn Folkehøgskole Toppen, allows you to witness it firsthand. 

Whether you’re interested in learning the Norwegian language or delving into Norwegian cultures, this school provides a supportive environment. You’ll participate in exciting activities alongside fellow students from Norway and around the world. Our school is known for having a good school environment and a high level of well-being among students.

Helgeland is rich in culture and history. As you explore this region, you’ll encounter the Sami Indigenous culture, traditional folklore, and local customs. It’s a chance to immerse yourself in authentic Norwegian lifestyle and outdoor life

We also take a trip to the famous Lofoten, where we do surfing, hiking and horse-riding. 

Vefsn Folkehøgskole TOPPEN is an active and creative school, placed on the top of a hill on the outskirts of Mosjøen in the middle of Norway. But still far enough up north that the northern lights dance across the sky regularly during the winther.

We want you to experience COURAGE, MASTERY and OPPORTUNITIES when you are a student with us. In a safe community and with many new experiences, you have good opportunities for personal growth and lifelong learning. For us, professional quality and well-being for everyone is important.

To make the most of the year, we think it's important that you have a vibrant and varied environment around you. Here you can find urban and great nature, safety and excitement, humor and seriousness, professional quality and well-being, combined with committed teachers. Security and challenges, good social environment and professional development are equally important.

The school is well equipped in all classes and there is wifi throughout the school. In addition, we have several common areas like a fitness room, rooms to socialize, student kitchen ... yes, all we need to do well. Our accommodation kitchen is one of the best, and we are spoiled by skilled chefs and good food all year round.

Another thing we emphasize is to have employees who are not only proficient in their subject but mean something more for the students. With us you will find people who have energy and humor, and teachers who want to bring out the best in you. Our students should feel included and appreciated, and we are all concerned that our students should feel at home and have a good time.
