Home to numerous universities and nearly a dozen international schools, Vienna is Austria’s hub of international education and learning.
There are several reasons that I sent my daughter to AMADEUS Vienna. One of them is that there is an individualized approach in the Primary Years Programme. It allows her to grow and experience an environment which is very conducive to creative learning. That is an extremely good fit for my child who likes music, using her hands to learn, the arts, and dancing.
What I believe is most special about AMADEUS Vienna is the IB learning that it offers and the individualized learning approach. In addition, it is a relatively small school and you quickly learn who other parents are and exchange information and experiences. There is a really rich sense of community here.
The school is a close community; one that is very supportive one that is very open and the children are learning a lot about being good community members. I would tell parents to jump in because it is a really, really special place. Every day is a memorable moment because I have a happy child coming home.

The school is a special place in Vienna because it is a nice area and a nice campus, and it is a great big family. It is not a school like usually; it is not about pressure, it is about enjoying to learn, enjoying to get an education. The teachers are nice and the parents are nice. The school is so social and inclusive, there is no bullying, there is happiness, and everybody helps together if someone needs help.
If someone would ask me if they should send their child to AMADEUS Vienna, I would definitely say yes. After my daughter has been a family member at AV for 8 years now, I am convinced that I have chosen the best school for her.
— B. Schreiber, Parent for AMADEUS International School Vienna
I was in a huge school in Japan but AMADEUS school is small and I think that makes this school special because we are united. People are close to each other and more open-minded and more internationally minded.
The boarding I really feel like is a big family. It is really cool that if I have something to ask, I can ask anyone, and it feels like more than friends. ‘Family’ is a good way to describe it.
I think it is a really good thing to send your kids here and my parents really think so too, because now I speak more languages, but I also want to say that you should not only send your kid here to learn new languages – because it is not about what language you speak, it is about what you say. You can learn English anywhere but if you come here you will learn something new; you will fit into the society and you will be more mature.
