Reykjavik - School Report Question and Answers
What is the climate for LGBT+ kids at this school? Are there resources they can draw upon? Does there appear to be any exclusionary behavior?
No personal experience, but I think the climate at ISI is probably good for LGBT+ kids. Many kids at ISI, especially in the older grades, identify at LGBT+. There are not resources specifically at the school that they can draw on (to my knowledge), but the general climate in Iceland is very accepting of people who identify at different points along the gender and sexuality spectrums. I would advise anyone with an LGBT+ kid to talk to the school directly to understand better what support the school can provide. - Jun 2023
Iceland places a premium on social and emotional well-being, so I imagine the school would be a supportive environment for LGBT+ kids. - Jul 2022
No experience with this issue, but Icelanders are generally very supportive of LGBT issues and I think the school would be very supportive if/when it comes up. - Jan 2022
