Amadeus International School Vienna

At AMADEUS International School Vienna, we provide an innovative and positive learning environment for students in all grades. As a fully authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum School, we follow the IB’s rigorous, internationally recognised programmes for students aged three to 18. Our inquiry-based learning approach engages students, addresses real-life challenges and cultivates critical-thinking, problem-solving and presentation skills. Our Commitment to the Arts encompasses a holistic approach to education by combining both academic excellence and passion for music and the arts. We maintain a truly international campus with over 40 nationalities, where multiple languages can be heard every day. Small class sizes allow for personalised attention. We provide English language support to enable all students to excel. As the language of our host country, German lessons are a requirement up to Grade 10 and offered at both the native and foreign language levels. Where requested and available, we also support the development of our students’ native languages through our mother-tongue programme. In addition to various technology tools, we provide our Primary students with iPads and our Secondary students with MacBooks to complement coursework.

At essence, we believe to ‘accompany’ means to walk alongside young people as they grow and develop. This provides students the freedom to make their path their own, whilst ensuring the correct measures of pace, support, challenge, and inspiration along the way. To reach one’s highest potential takes a positive and caring environment in which strengths are strengthened. It requires an environment where ‘highest potential’ is understood as flourishing, and learning is the ultimate good. An environment such as this stimulates students’ curiosities and creative energies; and fosters leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and a commitment to excellence.
