Schools and education have a long history in Hólar, Hjaltadalur. The cathedral school of Bishop Jón Ögmundsson was created in 1106, and following the Reformation in 1550, it was turned to a Latin school, which lasted until 1801. The agricultural school at Hólar was founded in 1882, and Hólar University College is descended from that institution. The Hólar school has evolved from a traditional agricultural school to a modern university-level institution during the last 15 years.

In a variety of fields of study, Háskólinn á Hólum offers courses and programs leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as pre-bachelor degrees (i.e. certificates, diplomas, associate or foundation degrees), bachelor degrees, and master degrees. This 13-year-old Icelandic higher-education school has a stringent admission process based on entrance exams and previous academic performance and grades. Students can take advantage of a library, online courses, and distance learning options, as well as administrative services, at Háskólinn á Hólum.
