Principles of Study Organisation at Tartu Folk High School
Tartu Folk High School aims to implement the idea of lifelong learning and welcomes adults of all ages. Our school is open to all who wish to develop their talents, refresh their knowledge, or learn something new in order to cope with life. We offer various possibilities for self-improvement that are connected with work or leisure time. Instruction includes longer courses, one-day courses, or shorter lectures, which are taught either during the day or in the evening. In addition to training, we organise cultural events, exhibitions, and concerts. We also host summer schools in beautiful places in the Estonian countryside.
TFHS was established in 1987. During the first 14 years, it was known as Tartu Cultural University. In 2001 the Tartu Cultural University Association, Turku Adult Training Foundation, and Tartu City Government created the independent foundation, Tartu Folk High School.
Today TFHS is the biggest independent training centre in South Estonia. TFHS has been continuously developing a modern, professional adult training centre that provides high-quality continuing education to meet adult educational, cultural, social, and economic needs.
Tartu Folk High School is a co-operation partner of the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund Training Card.
TFHS is a founder of the Folk High Schools Union, which is a member of the Estonian Non-Formal Adult Educational Association.
TFHS is a leading partner in different local and international projects and a reliable partner in cooperation projects.
