The present study employs qualitative interviews to examine Japanese international student experiences at folk high schools in Denmark. Interviews were conducted with fifteen Japanese international students at three schools in Denmark. The literature reviewed in this study explored the Japanese educational system and student experiences, philosophies and practices of folk high schools, and student experiences and outcomes at folk high schools. This study utilizes Critical Pedagogy and Social Learning Theory and aims to answer the following research questions: (1) 鈥淲hat are the experiences of Japanese international students in folk high schools?鈥; (2) 鈥淗ow might their experiences in folk high schools compare to their educational experiences in Japan?鈥; and (3) 鈥淲hat are their thoughts on introducing the folk high school model in Japan?鈥 The data collected through the interviews will be presented and analyzed in relation to the current literature and the theories. The analysis is used for potential expansion of the study and policy suggestions.
