AMADEUS International School Vienna is known for its high academic standards, integrated Music and Arts Academy, and diverse international community. The school combines academic excellence with creative development, offering students a balanced environment where intellectual growth and artistic expression go hand in hand. With all four IB Programmes under one roof, AMADEUS Vienna provides a continuous educational pathway from early childhood to pre‑university studies.

Located in Vienna’s historic 18th district, the campus sits within one of the city’s heritage-rich neighbourhoods. The school buildings are surrounded by mature greenery, creating a calm and healthy environment that supports student well‑being. Generous outdoor spaces allow students to learn, play, and explore beyond the classroom, while a direct tram connection keeps the campus easily accessible from the city centre. 

AMADEUS Vienna welcomes students from age 3 to 18, offering a seamless progression through the Reggio Emilia‑inspired International Kindergarten (Early Years Centre), the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), the IB Diploma Programme (DP), and the IB Career‑related Programme (CP).

The Early Years Centre brings together families from around the world in a learning environment built on curiosity, exploration, and hands‑on discovery. Daily activities encourage children to think critically, collaborate, and express creativity. The curriculum spans nine areas, from Creative Expression to Nature, Technology, and Mathematics, giving young learners a broad introduction to the world around them. Purpose‑designed classrooms and extensive outdoor areas support active learning and help children develop confidence and independence. 

The transition into the PYP is supported by a low teacher‑to‑student ratio, ensuring personalised attention and strong academic foundations. Students receive continuous language support and are encouraged to develop a global mindset from the earliest years. Weekly participation in the Creative Arts and Enrichment Programme allows students to explore music, art, or dance, helping them discover personal interests and talents.

Moving into the MYP is a significant step for students and families. AMADEUS Vienna prepares learners for this transition through early skill‑building and a supportive environment. The programme emphasises intellectual challenge, international mindedness, and personal development. A key milestone is the Grade 10 Personal Project, which encourages students to pursue an independent inquiry and prepares them for the demands of the Diploma Programme. Throughout the MYP, students grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically, guided by the IB Learner Profile.

Building on this foundation, the DP offers an academically rigorous and balanced curriculum that prepares students for university and life beyond school. Together with focusing on intense preparation for final examinations, the DP also encourages interdisciplinary thinking and deep engagement with subject content. With a wide range of subjects available, students can specialise according to their strengths, interests, and future aspirations, making this stage a natural continuation of the skills and habits formed during the MYP.

Extending the IB continuum even further, AMADEUS Vienna is one of the few international schools offering the IB Career‑related Programme (CP), which blends academic study with real‑world preparation. The CP Music pathway develops professional musicianship through performance, composition, theory, recording, and industry knowledge, complemented by selected DP subjects and the CP Core. The CP Business pathway integrates academic learning with practical business qualifications, giving students hands‑on experience, industry‑relevant skills, and internationally recognised credentials that support both direct entry into the workplace and progression to degree‑level study at leading universities. 

To support students in their next steps, AMADEUS Vienna maintains exclusive partnerships with renowned educational and cultural institutions in music, arts, medicine, dentistry, psychology, law, and business. These collaborations strengthen the school’s academic network and enhance university application opportunities, which together contribute to consistently strong admissions outcomes for graduates. 

Families are invited to experience this educational environment firsthand through the AMADEUS Insider* Event, which includes a campus tour, boarding tour, classroom visit, student concert, and optional lunch in the dining hall. It offers a welcoming opportunity to explore the campus, meet the community, and discover the educational possibilities available at AMADEUS Vienna.
