Modern education and cultural diversity
Kvarnen – a bridge builder between
people, languages and cultures
The Folk High School offers full-time programs in five different fields of study. We create meeting places where diversity becomes a strength and where education, culture, and community unite. Students from nearby high schools actively participate in special courses, projects, and study trips. We are also involved in various national and international development projects and arrange short courses, seminars and group trips that enrich both knowledge and community. The Adult Education Centre (Kronoby MI) offers open courses for all ages and interests.

Kvarnen
An old Swedish word for ‘mill’, signaling energy and development. The mill was traditionally a place of gathering, where important topics were discussed while business was being done. The mill, with its technical solutions, was a symbol of ideas, technological advancement, and development. Our mission is to keep on being a friendly community and a foundation for personal development.
