Welcome to our website.

Grundtvigs Højskole means directly translated Grundtvigs Folk High School. But with regard to the contents of our courses, the translation would be Grundtvigs Folk College.

Grundtvigs is a modern boarding school in mostly new buildings situated in Hilleroed 40 km north of Copenhagen.

Long Courses
From September to May we offer long courses, where mostly young people between 18 and 25 come to live and study here for 2 to 8 months. The main subjects are philosophy, art, politics, film and litterature, journalism and photojournalism, as well as theatre, music and sports.

We normally have students from all over the world; Scandinavia, Europe, USA, Japan and the rest of the world. We offer intensive courses in Danish language and Culture, but we require some basic Danish language skills from our students. The is because the daily language and the language of our courses is Danish. Normally we have between 60 and 90 students on our long courses.

The fee for being a student at Grundtvigs Folk High School starts at 1050 DKK a week – approximately 140 Euro. The price includes a room, meals and education.
