About Vinafell
Students in 1st and 2nd grade of Fellaskóli participate in a combination of school and recreational activities until 3:40pm. Afterward, there is the option to enroll children in the after-school program until 5pm. This integrative approach to schooling is called "1, 2 and Fellaskóli." All the children take part in organized school and recreational activities until 3:40pm, providing a comprehensive service to children and their parents. The aim is to increase the time children spend in an Icelandic-speaking environment and to enhance their social skills.
The Vinafell after-school program offers a fee-based service from 3:40pm to 5pm. Vinafell is open on teachers’ professional days, as well as during the Christmas and Easter holidays of Fellaskóli. It is closed during the winter break and on professional development days for the after-school program. Vinafell operates a seven-week summer after-school program during Fellaskóli's summer holidays. Vinafell is run by Miðberg Recreation Center.
3rd and 4th graders can participate in recreational activities at Hraunheimar, a joint after-school program for Fellaskóli and Hólabrekkuskóli.
Bryndís Snorradóttir, Head of Division for younger grades, and the integrated school and recreational activities, is in charge of the after-school program, with Sara Mist Jóhannsdóttir as the Assistant Director.

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.
Information on the prosperity contacts for children at the Vinafell after-school program can be found on the website of Fellaskóli
