History

The main building of the school was constructed during a sawmill boom period. It was designed by Johan Anders Linder, who was a clergyman in Umeå. It was built in 1849.[1]


This school is one of 154 folk high schools throughout Sweden. It offers a standard high school education that readies students for work or a university education, and in addition it offers specialist courses for musicians. Since 2013 there is an expanding extension in Ålidhem, and in other locations throughout Sweden, also providing training in Swedish for immigrants.[2]
