About our school
Fjölbrautaskólinn í Breiðolti/FB was established in 1975 and was the first community college of its kind in Iceland. The college is divided into two schools; a normal day school for pupils who are between the age of 16 and 19 years old and an evening school for adults. The number of students in day school is about 1100 and about 400 in the evening school. The college is one of the largest upper secondary schools in Iceland with a staff of 110 teachers. The pupils who enter the college at the age of 16 have completed 10 years of primary education. Final graduation from our college as well as other such colleges or secondary grammar schools in Iceland has proved sufficient for universities and other institutes of higher learning both in Europe and USA. In addition to preparing pupils for various academic studies at university level, FB offers qualifications in specialized branches of vocational learning, computer, art, nurse assistant, beautician, carpenter, and electrician.
International Relations
Since 1997 our school co-operates with several countries and has taken part in many EU activities and projects within Erasmus+ and Nordplus. We have also taken part in several vocational educational training projects with student and staff exchanges and mobilities. For several years now we have been welcoming groups of students and teachers from all over Europe. In the last two Euroskills‘ national competitions our students have done very well, receiving Gold, Silver and Bronze.
International Policy
As one of Iceland´s biggest vocational colleges we want to prepare our students to become more capable to compete in the international labor market. We want to both support our students and staff to develop themselves in their skills and to give them the opportunity to enhance their internationalization by giving them solid education and by giving them the chance to work and train abroad in a European environment. By taking part in mobility projects we believe students and staff will grow personally and professionally.
