Education and teaching
Reykjavík City primary schools follow the national curriculum for primary schools, with reference to the Reykjavík City Education Policy. The main objective of the Policy is for all children to grow, develop and feel happy in a democratic society that is based on human rights and respect for the diversity of human life.
Through robust school and recreation activities, children and young people gain education and experience to realize their dreams and have a positive impact on their environment and society.
Mentor
Mentor is an information system for students, parents and school staff. Guardians and students receive a Mentor password. On the family page, guardians can view their children's schedules, homework, educational assessments, attendance and more.
Lesson plans
Lesson plans describe the content and assessment methods, giving teachers, students and guardian an overview of the curriculum.
