Austrian Schools Abroad

Austrian schools abroad create environments in which different educational approaches, cultures, languages and people meet and learn from one another.

Alongside students from the host country, Austrian students and students from other countries are also admitted. Education is delivered through close cooperation between the host country's educational system and the Austrian system.

Classes are taught jointly by teachers from the host country, Austria and other countries.

These schools are in high demand because their graduates enjoy the same standing as graduates of schools in Austria.

After completing higher education, many graduates hold senior positions in business, culture and society in their home countries or abroad. Their experience of both educational systems enables them to serve as bridges between Austria and their own countries.

Objectives

General Education

The schools provide a broad general education supported by modern information and communication technologies.

This background facilitates admission to universities in Austria and other countries.

Language

Language is a means of communication that carries culture and enables knowledge to be shared. Most lessons are taught in German, while the host country's language and culture are given equal importance. Austrian students and students from other countries are also required to learn the host country's language. An additional foreign language may also be studied.

Identity

The subjects offered help students view political, economic and cultural issues from a wider international perspective. While gaining awareness of their own national and cultural identities, students can compare different approaches and develop intercultural understanding in an international context.

Social Education

Social education is particularly important in Austrian schools abroad. It helps prevent students from forming an isolated group and develops their social awareness.
