About Zealand School

A new website for Sjálandsskóli is under development and will be launched later this year.

Sjálandsskóli in Garðabær began operating in the fall of 2005. Sjálandsskóli is a single-seat primary school for students in grades 1-10. The school's surrounding area is: Sjáland , Ásar, Grundir and Nes and is bordered by Hafnarfjörðurvegur to the south, Gálgahraun to the west, Arnarnesvogur to the north and Kópavogur to the east. The school's organization is in accordance with the Compulsory Education Act and the National Curriculum Guide.

  • The school's motto is:To want and respect
  • During student hours, the school building opens at 7:45 a.m., but the school day begins at 8:30 a.m. Classes end at different times depending on the year group. After the school day ends, students are offered extended hours of attendance, which is operated by the school's after-school center, Sælukot.
  • Each student has a supervising teacher who closely monitors their learning, well-being and development. The supervising teacher is the liaison between home and school and is responsible for this collaboration on the part of the school.
