City-run primary schools in Reykjavík meet each child's educational needs regardless of their abilities or status.

Rimaskóli's comprehensive support plan

Primary school is the students' workplace. All primary school students have the right to education suited to their needs in a stimulating learning environment with appropriate facilities that consider their needs and general well-being. Rimaskóli operates in the spirit of inclusive education and strives to follow the Reykjavík City School & Recreation Council's policy in working with all students. Rimaskóli has prepared a comprehensive plan to support students with disabilities or special needs, behavioral difficulties, and emotional and social problems.

Child prosperity

The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties.

 

Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services.

 

Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.
