In Vienna, a city celebrated for its rich artistic and cultural legacy, AMADEUS International School Vienna is shaping a modern and holistic approach to learning. As the only school in Austria offering the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, AMADEUS Vienna provides students with a globally recognised academic pathway grounded in inquiry, creativity, and critical thinking.

Equally central to the school’s identity is its commitment to wellbeing. Guided by UNESCO’s “Happy School” principles, AMADEUS fosters an environment where students feel safe, valued, and motivated to learn. This philosophy places relationships, emotional development, and a sense of belonging at the heart of the educational experience. By integrating wellbeing with academic excellence, the school ensures that every student is supported to grow confidently, discover their strengths, and reach their full potential.

The AMADEUS philosophy is built on three pillars: Happiness, Imagination, and Kindness. The school fosters a vibrant atmosphere where students feel a profound sense of belonging. This model does not compromise academic standards; instead, it provides the emotional scaffolding, through positive relationships and an optimised learning environment, that allows students to navigate the rigorous IB curriculum with resilience and a positive mindset.

At AMADEUS Vienna, each student is encouraged to find and discover their own ability and individuality. Teachers take time to recognise individual strengths, identify areas for growth, and tailor instruction to support meaningful progress for every student.

In the Secondary School, the Mentor System strengthens this approach even further. Each student is paired with a dedicated mentor who provides daily guidance on academic development as well as social‑emotional well-being. This consistent, relationship‑based support forms the foundation of our comprehensive Pastoral Care programme.

By ensuring that every child is known, valued, and supported, AMADEUS creates an environment where students can grow with confidence and thrive within a culture of trust.

AMADEUS nurtures global citizens through a "symphony" of academics, creativity, and physical health. Alongside rigorous study, the world-class Music and Arts Academy (AMAA) offers professional training that serves as a vital emotional outlet. Furthermore, the "Vitality" pillar provides diverse After School Activities (ASAs) and the Special Experience Programme (SEP), ranging from sports to STEM. This balance helps students manage stress and build the resilience needed for future challenges.

As Vienna’s only international school with on‑campus boarding, the School offers a caring and structured environment for students living abroad. House Parents reside alongside boarders, providing consistent guidance, emotional support, and a reassuring presence throughout the day. Boarding students also benefit from the support of dedicated Boarding Mentors, who help them grow both personally and academically. The mentors work closely with the students’ academic mentors to identify individual needs, encourage personal interests, and ensure that each student receives the right guidance at the right time.

The school dining hall serves as a lively social space where students enjoy nutritious, culturally diverse meals and connect with peers. Weekends are enriched with cultural excursions and shared activities that help students build meaningful friendships across countries and backgrounds.

Through this strong sense of community, boarders feel supported, connected, and confident as they pursue their international education.

With a dedicated faculty and a commitment to holistic development, AMADEUS Vienna offers more than just a path to top universities. It provides a journey defined by happiness, achievement, and self-discovery. We invite parents to join us in safeguarding their children’s growth in the fertile soil of Vienna, creating a brilliant and balanced future together.
