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.

 

Norðlingaskóli

The school emphasizes competency-based learning in accordance with the National Curriculum where students complete projects independently, with peers from their grade level, or in mixed-age groups. Teaching methods and practices consider students' age, development, and abilities.

We promote personalized learning by encouraging students to actively shape their education through clear competency objectives and performance standards, ensuring students understand their learning goals.

Our educational approach emphasizes diverse teaching methods and work practices, offering students various ways to demonstrate their competencies.
