About Réttarholtsskóli

Réttarholtsskóli is a consolidated school for lower-secondary education with about 440 students in grades 8 to 10, most of whom come from Breiðagerðisskóli, Fossvogsskóli, and Hvassaleitisskóli. We place particular emphasis on good relationships between students, parents, and staff at the school. The school has always emphasized that students feel that the staff cares for them and respects them as individuals, but at the same time, we expect a lot from students regarding their education attendance and behavior. The school's motto is respect, activity, and well-being. By emphasizing this, the school underlines the belief that well-being is the foundation of success and that everyone in the school community shows and encounters respect in all interactions. The youth center, Bústaðir, offers diverse and enjoyable activities for the school's students.

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 contact person in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The contact person offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can contact the school contact person to request integrated services.

The contact persons for Réttarholtsskóli are: Hildur Ýr Hjálmarsdóttir and Linda Hreiðarsdóttir
