Other leisure activities
With school days being rather short, after-school activities are very popular in Iceland. A range of sports, music classes and even homework help are run by various establishments in every neighbourhood. The city offers a significant grant to help parents fund activities for their children. Many extra-curricular activities also offer summer courses to fill the long summer break.
If your child is interested in music, please note that it is possible to get music classes in school during school hours. Please contact the Head of the Music Department, Dagný, if you would like to know more.
