About the school
At Snoghøj Folk High School, we create art and performing arts together every day while gaining deeper insights into life.
We are a school with a strong sense of community and room for immersion. We offer a wide range of elective subjects and you can choose to immerse yourself in performing arts from morning till evening. Or you can explore subjects like ceramics, upcycling, or sea kayaking. The choice is yours, as you have significant influence over your schedule!
But we are more than just our courses. A year with us offers reflective moments with views over the Little Belt, evenings by the fire with guitar music and communal singing, trips to New York and Berlin, exciting conversations, and meaningful connections. You may even find that you both change—and become more of yourself.
We emphasize that Snoghøj becomes your home. Here, you can be yourself. Pause and breathe. Create memories and join a community that we all contribute to.

Courses and topics
Snoghøj Folk High School is one of Denmark's folk high schools where we believe in the meeting of different nationalities in an international spirit. This - in our experience - will make us all wiser about life, art, and each other!
For this reason, most of our subjects are taught in English. Beside your main subject in "Producing, performing artist" you can choose between a wide range of electives. For example solo singing, dance and acting. This allows you to create a schedule with well over 20 hours of theater training per week.
However, you can also choose to complement your main subject with ceramics, sea kayaking, or yoga if you're curious about different topics and subjects. The choice is yours— in our school as in life.
In addition to artistic and performing arts courses, you will participate in morning assemblies, where we discuss cultural topics. These assemblies are mostly in Danish, with simultaneous translation into English.
Every Friday, we end the week with a choir session and a gathering with cake. In Snoghøj you'll experience high quality teaching and a strong, warm, including community - all in one!
