UNICEF Rights Respecting School
We follow the UNICEF Rights Respecting School model, it's goal being a democratic learning environment where children learn about Human Rights and develop mutual respect. The basic premises of the Child Rights Convention serve as the starting point for all decisions made in school operations and are reflected in the interactions of everyone in the school community. We intentionally cultivate skills, abilities, knowledge, and attitudes that will enable children to be critical, active, and competent members of society.
Vesturbæjarskóli school district
There are several school districts in Reykjavík and each child has 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. Here is information on which streets belong to Vesturbæjarskóli's school district.
Primary school meals
School meals are free for the 2024-2025 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.
