"The Reykjavik International School (RIS) is one of the best international schools in Iceland.

The school follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, which is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. RIS also offers a variety of extracurricular activities, such as sports, music, and art. The Reykjavik Bilingual School (RBS) is another excellent bilingual school in Iceland. RBS offers a bilingual education in both English and Icelandic, with a focus on developing students’ language skills. The school follows the Icelandic National Curriculum, which is designed to prepare students for higher education. RBS also offers a variety of extracurricular activities, such as sports, music, and art. The Akureyri International School (AIS) is a top-rated international school in Iceland. Located in the northern city of Akureyri, AIS offers a comprehensive education for students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. The school follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, which is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

"Look into homeschooling. Even if you do decide to send you child to this school you'll be doing a lot of supplemental teaching at home. This is our kids fourth international school so far and it hasn't been a good experience for them. We can't wait to leave. Love the country but hate the school," commented one expat when asked about International School of Iceland in Reykjavik.
