School activities

Primary school meals

School meals are free for the 2025-2026 school year. However, the school still needs to track information about allergies and intolerances and limit food waste. Students must register for the school lunch program as before.

Students registered last year will be automatically enrolled. Others need to register. Change the registration at matur.vala.is.

Parent cooperation

We are all in this together, and as the proverb goes it takes a village to raise a child.

 

Reykjavík City schools make targeted efforts to consult with parents and enhance their involvement in schooling.

 

All schools in Reykjavík City have an active parent association.

Assessment of school operations

The goal of assessing and monitoring quality is to provide insight into schooling, its outcomes, and its development.

Háteigsskóli school district

Reykjavík has many school districts, and the child's registered address determines their district school.

 

Your child gets priority in their district school. Nevertheless, all parents have the choice to apply to any school in the city for their children according to the rules on school districts, applications, and admission.
