From the Folk High School Website (you can click to view the page in English). . .
 
The folk high school movement is a characteristically Nordic phenomenon which started in the middle of the 19th century in Denmark, followed by Norway, Sweden and Finland. The first folk high school in Norway opened its doors in 1864. Today, there are 77 schools in the country. Folk high schools provide opportunities in general education, primarily for young adults. These schools are different from secondary schools, high schools and higher education. 
 
These particular schools offer courses in the Norwegian Language for international students!
