The school was built in 1957 in the town of Ädelfors in Vetlanda [1][2] and was moved to the small village of Holsbybrunn in 1972.

The dorms can accommodate about 100 students and include apartments adjusted for disabled people.

[4] The art classes are accessible to persons with neuropsychiatric disabilities who would like to learn painting and sculpture.

Ädelfors also has a variety of weekend-courses and summer courses such as "Human rights in an open society".

[5] A Russian-language course meets initially at the folkhögskola and then at the Russian city of Cheboksary.
