Tidligere elever forteller
Alle de gode vennene, fjellene som bader seg i kveldssol, kald sjøsprøyt, følelsen av å stå på toppen og kikke utover, vann som sildrer på sidene av kajakken, solnedganger og soloppganger på moloen, kakao og strikking ved peisen når mørketiden kommer. Varme klemmer, harde diskusjoner, gode ord og tankevekkende samtaler.
Dette er stedet. Dette er hele pakka (og litt til).
Det handler mye om naturen, men vel så mye om folkene du deler den med. Det er så mange møteplasser for å skape gode relasjoner – i linjeundervisning, på fellesskole, i valgfagsperiodene, på internatene eller rundt middagsbordet.
Etter at jeg flyttet hit har jeg tatt meg selv i å tenke, oftere enn før, at det er fantastisk hvor fint livet kan være.
