Friendship with/through nature and culture

Skúlin á Giljanesi, former name Miðvágs - Sandavágs skúli was founded on the 3rd of April in 1961. Therefore in 2011 we had our 50th anniversary.

Before this the villages Sandavágur and Miðvágur had two very small schools. Each of them had only 3 classrooms. In 1955 they decided to build a fellow school for both villages, because lack of space for the pupils.

At the moment we are building a new school just next to our old one. The new school means to us a new beginning and a new era. Thus the name changed to Skúlin á Giljanesi.

this year we have 317 students and 36 teachers.

Our school is of big importance to the community Vágar Kommuna. It is the surrounding of all sorts of sport activities after school. And evening school is kept there as well. People are given the opportunity to go to music classes, IT classes, art classes, singing classes and other. The school's library is opened to the public as well. This is a place that gathers all kinds of the Vágar Kommunu citizens, young and old.
