An International Education in Iceland

 

The international school offers a dynamic learning environment for elementary school children in grades K-7 (aged 5-13). Our emphasis is on international-mindedness and positive discipline in a bilingual environment. The school is located within Sjálandsskóli, a new state-of-the-art school in Garðabær.

 

Skólinn er einkarekinn grunnskóli innan Sjálandsskóla, sem býður upp á alþjóðlega menntun fyrir börn á aldrinum 5-13 ára. Áhersla er lögð á alþjóðalega vitund og jákvæðan aga í tvítyngdu umhverfi.

 

The School's Mission

 

The mission of the International School is to create an environment that is academically stimulating and supportive. Our school´s curriculum is developed to honor each child as an individual and provide them with skills such as resilience, confidence and motivation within a secure and supportive environment.


As an international program with a bilingual stream, we encourage bilingualism and international-mindedness. We strive to provide our students with experiences that celebrate and respect Icelandic culture, as well as all cultures present in our school community.

 

Markmiðið með starfsemi skólans er að bjóða upp á örvandi námsumhverfi sem hvetur og styður við nemendur. Við leggjum áherslu á að börnin öðlist alþjóðega reynslu sem byggist á umburðarlyndi og samúð og hefur í heiðri og virðir íslenska menningu. Sama gildir um alla þá mismunandi menningu sem fyrir kemur meðal nemenda af ýmsum uppruna. Sem hluti af okkar alþjóðlegu stefnu hvetjum við til tvítyngis og stefnum að frekari eflingu tungumálakennslu. Námskráin er miðuð að því að einstaklingurinn fái notið sín, finni til öryggis og nái markmiðum sínum.

With our sincere appreciation and thanks to:
