The school
Klébergsskóli is both a rural and urban primary school. A part of Reykjavík since the unification of Kjalarnes and Reykjavík in 1999, it is the oldest operating primary school in the City and now boasts about 120 students in grades 1-10. The school is located just above Kléberg, from which it takes its name. Klébergsskóli's guiding principles are respect, collaboration, and ambition.
The school is part of a consolidated institution with five different workplaces; Berg Preschool, Klébergsskóli, the Kátakot after-school program, the Flógyn youth center, and the Music School at Kléberg with about 53 staff, in addition to the City Library that serves as a school library during school hours.

What's on the menu?
Klébergsskóli operates a cafeteria for students and staff. School meals are free, but it's important for the school to maintain oversight, keep track of allergy and intolerance information, and limit food waste. Therefore, students must still register for the school lunch program and report any food allergies.
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 and increase parent involvement in school activities.
All schools in Reykjavík City have an active parent association.
School rules
The national curriculum for primary schools states that students need to develop various skills in daily life to be active participants in a democratic society, including communication skills, respect, tolerance, and understanding of democratic society structure. Students must learn to interact harmoniously with each other and all school staff, take responsibility for their own conduct and behavior, and respect school rules.
Evaluation of school activities
The goal of evaluating and monitoring the quality of work is to provide information about school activities, their results and development.
Klébergsskóli 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.
