The International Christian School of Vienna is the only K-12 English-speaking Christian school in Vienna, Austria, with an American curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Programme for grades 11 and 12. What started as a school for missionary children in 1986, over the years ICSV has expanded its mission to include students from international, diplomatic, and local families. Today, we are a caring community with 340 students, founded on the core values of Christ-centeredness, excellence, integrity, respect, and service.ICSV is unique in its shared mission to provide high-quality, individualized education, equipping students with Christian character to impact the nations of the world. At ICSV, we believe that everyone is created in the image of God. We strive to be an international school of choice where every student is valued and empowered with truth and knowledge for life.

Elementary School 

Our elementary school program offers the traditional core subjects: English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. In addition, each student also participates in Bible, German or English Language Learning, Music, Art, Physical Education (PE), and Computer classes. Our courses are all standards aligned to ensure effective progression of learning. We use innovative, research-based methods of instruction, and cross-disciplinary strategies to help create authentic connections in learning.

Secondary School 

At ICSV, students have the unique opportunity to graduate with up to two secondary school diplomas. They earn the U.S. high school diploma by completing courses in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, World Language, Art, PE, and Health. All students also complete Bible classes, delving into a scriptural approach to ethics, world issues, and the tenets of the Christian faith. In grades 11 and 12, students have the opportunity to earn the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP), which is recognized across the globe for its rigorous curriculum and excellent university preparation. Students can choose to complete some, all, or no IB courses in addition to their American curriculum.

While we strive to create an academic program that is highly effective, we also understand that we have a responsibility to aid students in their overall development. Our small class sizes and staff that are invested in knowing their students in a holistic manner help create a nurturing learning environment where students feel safe and known.

ICSV offers various extracurricular activities to enhance our students' learning experiences beyond the classroom. Our clubs and activities change every year to reflect the interests and passions of our students. Students have the opportunity to participate in quarterly clubs that provide enrichment opportunities, athletic development, and more. In the past, we have offered clubs such as chess, running, soccer, cooking, gardening, art, climbing, dance, and many more. We are committed to providing our students with diverse and engaging extracurricular opportunities that promote their social, emotional, and physical development.

Our athletics program includes soccer, basketball, volleyball, track and field, and golf. Students can compete in friendly matches against neighboring international schools in Vienna, as well as in festivals and tournaments as part of the Danube Valley Athletic Conference (DVAC). The DVAC includes teams from international schools in Vienna, Salzburg, Carinthia, Bratislava, and Budapest, providing our students with the chance to compete against other talented athletes from across the region.

We believe that participation in sports teams and competitions promotes teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship, and we are proud to offer these opportunities to our students.
