"An independent, non-denominational day school, Landakot School is Iceland's oldest and longest-running private school. The school offers a safe, caring and home-like environment for students of all nationalities. Students attending the school range in age from 5–16 years old; in Iceland this is K-10th grade. Landakotsskóli has ample play and green spaces, as well as an adjacent park, and currently serves some 200 students.
The school's new (established 2015–16) international department was inspired by the increasing diversity of the school's student body and the city's need for an international program to meet the needs of Iceland's expatriate business, diplomatic and academic community; families temporarily resident in Iceland; students returning from abroad who wish to continue their studies in English; and Icelandic families seeking global perspectives in education. The school has a strong academic record, based on a longstanding tradition of outstanding results in national examinations, and an emphasis on foreign languages and an innovative arts curriculum, provide a solid foundation on which to develop an international program."
