An Exceptional IB Continuum for Every Stage of Learning
AMADEUS is a full IB continuum school, welcoming students from ages 3 to 18. The educational journey begins with a Reggio Emilia-inspired Kindergarten (ages 3–6), followed by the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP).
Further reinforcing its commitment to Educational Distinction, AMADEUS introduced the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP), offering a personalised and practical pathway tailored to specific career interests. AMADEUS is the first school in Austria, and the only one in Europe, to offer the IBCP with a focus on Music, making it an ideal pathway for students aspiring to become professional musicians or pursue music studies at university level.
Coming soon, AMADEUS will expand its IBCP offering with a Business Pathway, designed for students interested in entrepreneurship, management, and the global business world. This new pathway will combine academic rigour with real-world learning, preparing students for future studies and careers in business-related fields.
Alongside the IB programmes, students may further develop their artistic talents through the integrated Music & Arts Academy. Catering to young musicians at every stage of their journey, the Academy offers Foundation, Advanced, and Professional levels. Under the guidance of distinguished instructors, students receive individualised tuition and benefit from numerous practice and performance opportunities, both within and beyond the school community.
AMADEUS Boarding
As the only international boarding school in Vienna, AMADEUS brings together students from across the globe in an inclusive, joyful, and culturally diverse environment. The boarding community fosters mutual respect, independence, and a strong sense of belonging while promoting a healthy lifestyle through balanced nutrition, physical activity, and meaningful social engagement.
Prospective students are invited to experience boarding life firsthand through a trial stay, offering an authentic glimpse into a typical day and night at the Boarding House. With its warm atmosphere, attentive pastoral care, and high-quality facilities, the AMADEUS Boarding House truly sets a benchmark, one that would undoubtedly earn a five-star rating.
AMADEUS Community
At the heart of AMADEUS lies a vibrant international community that nurtures academic, artistic, and personal growth. The student body reflects a rich tapestry of cultures and life experiences, with students originating from all corners of the world. Some have been born in one country and raised in another, while others have lived across multiple continents. Regardless of background, all students share a strong sense of international-mindedness and thrive together in a respectful, harmonious environment.
This diversity is mirrored within the faculty and staff, a dedicated team of international educators and professionals united by a shared vision. Together, they empower students to learn with confidence, flourish creatively, and grow into globally minded citizens and visionary leaders of the future.
AMADEUS Vienna’s commitment to academic excellence, music, and the arts is what unites the School community. We strive to create an environment where every student feels welcomed, respected, and supported as they explore cultures, ideas, and human experiences through creativity and learning.
Developing the confidence to express knowledge, emotions, and perspectives, regardless of culture, tradition, or background, is central to the AMADEUS philosophy.
This is what we proudly call Educational Distinction.
