The primary schools of Hafnarfjörður are open to all children, regardless of where they live in the town. Parents are encouraged to find out about the work of the schools. Hafnarfjörður is a single school district divided into school catchment areas, and a pupil's registered address determines which local school they are assigned to.

Please note that applications for other primary schools within the municipality and for primary schools in other municipalities must be submitted directly to the relevant school. If that school place is accepted, you must then apply for financial contribution from the City of Hafnarfjörður for the school place. Apply online via My pages under:

Further information will be sent from the school closer to the time.
The school where a child is placed will send all important information about the school's activities to parents/guardians as spring approaches. Information will be sent out, including about the meal plan and special play schemes held in August each year for 6-year-olds. This prepares them before primary school begins.
Enrolment for the 6-year course takes place in the spring and is advertised separately.
