The school year consists of two semesters, fall and spring. Each semester students take a full-time load of courses worth two or three credits each. Over three years, they take a total of 140+ credits and matriculate with an Icelandic Stúdentspróf which is the standard prerequisite for university admission in Iceland. This qualification is also accepted for admission to universities around the world.

History

The school was founded in 1970 and its first principal was Jón Baldvin Hannibalsson.[1] Ólína Þorvarðardóttir was the principal from 2001 until her resignation in 2006.[2]
