Ole Karsten is the principal himself, but not a traditional one! He is at the top of the climbing wall and unbeatable in table tennis. If there is snow and sun, you will see his back heading towards the mountain. He will gladly join you on a bike ride, show you acrobatic skills and slacklining. Now we are all looking forward to joining him at his cabin in Kalymnos, with his beautiful sailboat, "Stjerner i sikte" (Stars in sight).

Paul is the backbone of the school. He's a mountain guide, first aid expert, mountain goat and fisherman. What else? An artist! Yep, Paul paints, draws and is as creative as they come. He loves snow and is happy to take a class on a snow cave trip even if the temperature drops below minus 20 C.

Elise has control over most things – and most people! She is strategically located, easy to find and smiles broadly when you come by. Then she knows she can have a good chat, help you with mail, student loans or all the small and big things that come up throughout the year. She speaks "native", lives in the center with her husband and three children.

Renate is the reserve mom for all the students – she can be strict, but has a heart of gold. She is always there for a chat, whether you are heartbroken, think life is hard, or just need a hug. Renate spreads joy with small quotes around the school, but don't be fooled – she is also full of pranks and surprises!
