Dorms, classrooms and school area

How are the boarding schools at Elverum Folk High School? What does it look like at school, in the classrooms and in the area? What workshops and facilities are there?

Elverum Folk High School was built in 1928 and is located between Sagtjernet (Elverum's best bathing place) and Glomma - right by Elverum center.

The school has six dormitory buildings: Sørigard, Tjønnlia, Eidsvoll, Hovedbygget, Solbakken and Nordigard.

Sørigard is the newest boarding school, and was completed in August 2007. Solbakken, Tjønnlia and Nordigard were completely renovated in 2013, 2015 and 2018. Eidsvoll received a significant upgrade in 2014.

We have almost only twin rooms. When you apply for a school place, you can choose whether you want a room with a bathroom, or with a bathroom that several dormitories share - this costs somewhat less. We also have a few private rooms.

The boarding schools make up different house groups, and during the school year house group duels, cozy evenings and a lot of other fun are arranged in these groups. There is a division of boarding school cleaning and order within the house group.

At the folk high school, you get to know each other very well and get to know each other very well. Almost all students live in twin rooms, and we mix both lines and genders in the boarding schools.

Student rooms

At Sørigard we have two student rooms with TV, as well as a student kitchen. There is also a student kitchen and a student room with a pool table in the main building. In the Eidsvoll building we have a movie room with a huge selection of movies. In addition, there is a fireplace lounge. These rooms are accessible to all students at the school.
