What's on the menu?
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.
Parents/guardians must now register for the school lunch program in the Matartíminn system and select which weekdays their children will eat. Students should choose the same weekdays each week, such as every Tuesday and/or every Thursday. More information and instructions are on the Matartíminn/Abler website.
About Selásskóli
Selásskóli began teaching in the fall of 1986. The school is a peripheral school at the top of Árbær. The children go to Selásskóli until 12 years old (grades 1 to 7) when they go to Árbæjarskóli, the district's consolidated school. The school has taken advantage of its proximity to the city's main natural pearls by integrating them into as many subjects as possible.
The school's motto is 'Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom' and our values are 'Respect – Joy and Friendship'. These guiding principles reflect our focus in school activities.
The after-school program Víðisel is for children in grades 1 to 4 at Selásskóli, and the youth center Tían offers diverse and enjoyable activities for children and teenagers.
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.
The contact persons for Selásskóli are: Margrét Rós Sigurðardóttir and Guðbjörg Edda Hermannsdóttir

Operational plan
What's ahead for Selásskóli? You can find several items in the operational plan, including the school's policy for the previous year, teaching planning, and much more.
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 and increase parent involvement in school activities. All schools in Reykjavík City have an active parent association.
Selásskóli Parent Association
A parent association is a formal collaboration platform where guardians can discuss children's schooling and anything related to education and upbringing. The association has worked on various projects with the school, such as outdoor celebrations and school closing ceremonies.
Selásskóli 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 Selásskóli's school district.
