The school
Dalskóli has 473 students in grades 1–10. Dalskóli operates as a joint primary school and the after-school program is called Úlfabyggð. During its first 15 years, the school operated jointly with Dalskóli preschool, but as of Aug. 1, 2025, the preschool will become independent.
Dalskóli is inclusive and all children are welcome there regardless of mental and physical abilities, culture, and religion.
The basic idea about the school activities is that everyone should feel good, that the children have the opportunity to thrive, learn, and blossom. The school emphasizes autonomy, initiative and creativity.
Dalskóli is a jointly run primary school and after-school program. The primary school has grades 1-10.

School activities
Primary school meals
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. 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.
Every Reykjavík City school has an active parent association.
School council
Primary schools must have an active school council that serves as a forum for consultation between the principal and the school community on the school operation. The main role of the school council is to be a forum for all representatives of the school community to consult on school matters.
School evaluation
The goal of evaluating and monitoring quality is to provide insight into schooling, its outcomes, and its development.
Dalskóli school catchment
Reykjavík has many school catchments, and the child's registered address determines their catchment school.
Your child gets priority in their catchment school. Nevertheless, all parents have the choice to apply to any school in the city for their children according to the rules on school catchments, applications, and admission.
Here is information on which streets belong to Dalskóli's school catchment.
