As the two comments above state, Schools in Iceland are free from 5 to 16 years old, therefore please dismiss the "831,666.67 kr for 1 Year of International Primary School"
HG on Oct 04, 2023:
What do you mean by "International Primary School, Yearly for 1 Child" ?
Primary schools in Iceland are free.
Helena on Apr 04, 2023:
Hi hi, this is not right "International Primary School, Yearly for 1 Child"
This is free in Iceland, everywhere...please make this right :)
I just took some time to put in the new price from the store Krónan here in Iceland so it is very accurate to day, but schoolf for children from 5 to 16 is free.
best regards,
Helena
