About the school
Klettaskóli is a special education primary school serving the entire country. It was established in 2011. Reykjavík City operates the school, and most of its students live in Reykjavík and surrounding municipalities.
The municipalities where students reside fund the schooling for students who live outside of Reykjavík. An inclusive class from Klettaskóli is offered in Árbæjarskóli. An inclusive class is a specialized learning resource provided by Klettaskóli and located within a public primary school.
One of the school's roles is advising teaching staff from other primary schools and providing pedagogical support for students with similar educational needs to those in Klettaskóli.

School activities
Primary school meals
School meals are free for the 2025-2026 school year. However, the school still needs to track information about allergies and intolerances and limit food waste. Students must register for the school lunch program as before.
Students registered last year will be automatically enrolled. Others need to register. 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 parents and enhance their involvement in schooling.
All schools in Reykjavík City have an active parent association.
Assessment of school operations
The goal of assessing and monitoring quality is to provide insight into schooling, its outcomes, and its development.
