Where dreams come true

Everyone needs a place where you can create freely, play with knowledge, develop, express yourself and discover something new. Kulturskolan wants to be that place for you!

Kulturskolan is also a place for new meetings. When you leave Kulturskolan, we want you to take something good with you that you can use in life. Maybe a hobby for life, or be able to go on to higher studies. At our Kulturskola, we love differences and adapt the teaching to your conditions as far as possible.

Everyone can learn based on their own conditions and what we offer is a real education. We try to offer both cutting edge but also breadth of teaching and something for everyone.

We think the joy of playing and collaborations and being able to participate in a context are particularly important. You can meet new friends and together you make bigger and smaller appearances, exhibitions and shows. Therefore, we prioritize that children and young people play together in groups as far as possible.

Part of the municipality

Kulturskolan in Älmhult is part of the municipality's activities, and the municipality takes a very positive view of providing children and young people with meaningful cultural and leisure activities.

Our courses and registration

We aim to offer something from everyone, with programmes for all levels of aptitude. Check out the list below and see which course suits you. There are courses for both adults and children. What about, among other things, dance, cornet, clarinet, art, or theatre?

No prior knowledge is required to attend Kulturskolan. Each student is given the chance to develop according to their conditions, as far as possible.

During or after school hours

The teaching takes place either in primary school or after school hours, then often in the premises of Kulturskolan or other premises that are adapted for the activity. Dance, orchestral and group performances take place after school hours.

Good to know about the classes

• The classes include at least 11 teaching sessions per term. This includes performances and shows.
• You can rent the following instruments: violin, cello, trumpet, trombone, horn, flute, clarinet and saxophone.
• Lesson times are usually 20 minutes per week, during or after school hours. After school hours, the teaching takes place in the premises of Kulturskolan or in premises adapted for the activity. The time of the group lessons may vary.

Information about the fee

The municipality provides large subsidies to Kulturskolan, however, this does not cover the full cost of your course. This is why we charge a fee for attending Kulturskolan. The fees charged by Älmhult Municipality are substantially lower than in many other local authorities, and this is because the decision makers in Älmhult believe in the importance of Kulturskolan.

Invoice from Kulturskolan

The invoice comes once per semester and often in the middle of the semester. If there is something wrong with your invoice, you must contact us before the invoice is due. If the invoice is not paid on time, a debit fee is charged. If the invoice is left unpaid, the municipality sends it on to debt collection. If you have questions about your invoice, send an email to:

kulturskolan@almhult.se
