Friendship
Here you will make new friends, face new challenges, and participate in elective courses with other students at the school.
Become part of a large social community - this will give you security and social competence.
You will also be assigned a plus class and have extracurricular contacts among the other students. It is also possible to apply for one of the other lines.
Community
Physical activity
Development
Mastery
Here at school, we want you to develop more aspects of yourself in a community with other young people of the same age, and we emphasize activities where we are outdoors in nature. Therefore, it is great if you like being outdoors both summer and winter.

Hello.-)
I can say with certainty that you will enter a fantastically good and developing environment that will love you. For you to have a good time, well-being and security are a prerequisite for all development and learning. We have chosen interdisciplinary expertise in our team to create one of the most important years in our students' lives. We look forward to being together next school year!

Plus class
The active students choose their Plussklasse from among the other lines at the school. Here you get 15 extra friends who join you on trips and activities throughout the year! Valdres is one of the few schools that makes this possible!
Leisure contact
Many of the students at the school want to be your after-school contact at AKTIV. This means that you will have 1-3 young people who will join you in the evenings and on weekends for activities such as cinema, swimming, practical chores, cafes, museums and other activities at or outside of school.
Fellows
In addition to the teachers in your line, we have three second-year students who are assistants in the line.
You spend a lot of time with them and they are often favorites among the Aktiv students.
Digital aids
We use Abilia MEMOplanner as a tool to create a more positive everyday life. We experience that this tool can be useful with regard to cognitive stress. This user competence can help to master one's own everyday life and work after the end of the school year.
Former Valdrese student Marta Melstveit Espeland has submitted a Master's thesis on the inclusion of students with disabilities. Useful and professionally important thesis! Read more here: Master's thesis MMESpeland
The entire staff has been trained by Terje Wårheim. We want to be the best we can be in meeting our young people.

On our course we were lectured on training social competence (social skills training, anger management training and moral reasoning training).
This will be your home.
We have cozy and newly renovated dormitories. The rooms are soundproofed so that you can sleep well. We have arranged a cozy living room and kitchen, as well as easy access to shower/toilet/drying room/laundry room. The dormitory is located right next to the main building and the dining hall.
