Academic Enrichment and Individualization
 

​​We strive to meet and exceed the needs of all our students. Our low student to teacher ratio, and expertise in working with a diverse student population, allows teachers to better meet the varying needs, abilities and interests of our students.

 

English Language Support

 

For students who are new to learning English, additional support and modified coursework is given as the student strengthens their language abilities.

 

Accelerated Learning Program

 

We are pleased to offer a challenging and enriching accelerated learning program for students who learn and work at an advanced pace. Students are generally grouped instructionally by subject area for advanced curriculum work that is flexible and unique to their documented level of learning.

 

Special Education and Learning Support Services

 

The International Department of Landakotsskóli offers a range of learning support services for students with our primary goal being the enhancement of our regular school programs as a resource for all students.

 

Individual Education Plans are developed in coordination with our certified special education coordinator and comprehensive support team.
