Voss Folk High School

Voss Folk High School (Norwegian: Voss Folkehøgskule) is a private folk school in Voss, Norway.[1]

The school is located at the village of Seim west of Vossevangen in Hordaland. It was established in 1895 by educators Olaus Alvestad (1866–1903) and Lars Eskeland (1867–1942). The school follows the ideology inspired by clergyman and teacher N. F. S. Grundtvig (1783–1872) and his principals of education. It is today owned by an independent foundation. [2] [3][4]
