Danube International School Vienna GmbH

At Danube International School Vienna, an IB world school, we offer a challenging curriculum for over 500 students from early years (3 year olds) to pre-university levels with the IB Diploma programme. Once again, in 2023, our International Baccalaureate Diploma pass rate results are 100%. In fact, nine of the last ten years have shown 100% pass rate results in the IB Diploma program. With students coming to Danube International School Vienna from over 50 countries, we embrace our diversity and celebrate our uniqueness as we strive for excellence in all our programmes and encourage personal excellence from each of our students. 

Danube International School Vienna is located in an elegant, spacious and self-contained building, close to the centre of Vienna and beside famous Prater Park. This is an ideal location that enables students to learn outside school walls. Our goal is to engage learners at a very young age to be problem solvers, inquirers and risk takers.  We do this by providing opportunities for all students to challenge themselves in an environment where learning is student-centered and each individual is celebrated for their talent, effort and accomplishments. We have a highly qualified and experienced faculty representing a variety of cultures and nationalities, all well versed in teaching a diverse student body.  A culture of experiential and problem-based learning permeates the classroom, as students make meaning from their discoveries.

At Danube, we have a supportive and caring culture that encourages students to work together and inspire those around them. We feel it is our responsibility to nurture and guide each individual in a healthy and loving community to strive for personal best. The school's warm and friendly family atmosphere is grounded in respect, trust, compassion and the ideal of service.  We hope to raise children to be adults that exhibit empathy and, in so doing, make a difference for others.

In addition to high academic standards, the international education that we offer focuses on four core components of emotional intelligence, cultural understanding, communication and collaboration. We aim to develop students to be independent learners and leaders in the global community. We provide a wide range of activities and experiences that will not only prepare our children for the future, but also make their school and personal life more enjoyable and rewarding.

Focusing on the principles of ‘Engagement, Excellence, Excitement, Ethics and Empathy’ DISV is passionate about fulfilling its demanding vision to be a world leader in international education.  Our aim is to nurture happy, well-rounded students with healthy self-esteem, as we continually set high expectations, recognize individuality, offer genuine leadership opportunities, celebrate successes, and develop a reflective culture that enables students to learn from their experiences. 

Danube International School was founded in 1992 and is a privately owned school with "Öffentlichkeitsrecht".
