About international schools in Austria
International schools in Austria typically offer the International Baccalaureate alongside British, American and other national curricula, and a number of schools run bilingual German - English programmes as part of their offer. Instruction is often English-medium while German is widely taught and there are state-supported bilingual projects that integrate German instruction from the early years. Annual tuition fees vary considerably across the country - families can expect anything from modest local-fee options up to international school fees in the tens of thousands of euros per year, with many schools in a mid-range band. Admissions operate both as rolling intake and as year-start processes (some schools publish “best consideration” deadlines in January - February), so relocating families should begin enquiries several months before arrival and ask about mid-year places and language assessments.

Curricula
There are 13 international schools in Austria covering 9 curricula. The most widely offered are Bespoke Curriculum (7), IB (DP) (6), Australian Curriculum (2), IB (MYP) (2), Japanese Curriculum (1). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover

Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Austria run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
3 of the 13 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Austria we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
