Support services
Víkurskóli offers Valver, a school program for grades 8-10 with openings for 14-20 students. The support teacher and assistant who developed Valver over the past 20 years work there. The school counselor and head of division of support services also teach at Valver. Valver is designed for students with learning, behavioral, and/or emotional difficulties. If a student is offered an opening at Valver, a written agreement is made with the student and parents about goals to work on. The agreement specifies which subjects the student will take at Valver and which subjects with other teachers at Víkurskóli. The support teacher creates an individual curriculum based on the agreement and the student's diagnostic documents. Valver students belong to regular classes and participate in class activities and events when available.

Child prosperity
The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.
