North House Folk School is an educational non-profit located on the shore of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, Minnesota. It offers a broad range of traditional northern craft courses—more than 450 annually—with hundreds of instructors, spanning topics from timber framing and woodworking to boatbuilding and fibers. The organization emphasizes a non-competitive, student-centered learning environment that aims to enrich lives and build community through the study and practice of traditional crafts, guided by the values of inter-generational learning and creativity. Founded and housed in a region known for its Scandinavian folkehøjskole-inspired approach, the school prioritizes hands-on disciplines that preserve skills and stories from past and present.
