When you sign up, you must choose an A and a B subject. These will be your 'major' subjects during your high school stay. It is possible to change your subjects along the way, for us the most important thing is that you use your team here, in the subject you are most passionate about. (However, it requires that there is a spot available in the subject you would like to switch to.) When you choose from home, it is so that we can be sure that we have a place on the teams you sign up for. In addition to the main subjects, you also have elective subjects or C and D subjects, which you choose when you get to the school.

Dicover the atmospehre, closeness and magic of community
Going to folk high school gave me the opportunity to stop up, listen to my heart, and discover that to me, joy is when I get to do things in my own pace. I hope that future students are ready to enjoy the present moment and the closeness in the conversations that you will have both with your new friends and yourself.
