What does make Austrian schools special for parents and children from all over the world?

Austria has a lot to offer international students: we are visited by those who are simultaneously interested in obtaining a quality education of the world level and cultural experience. Austria is a small country, but widely known for its history and contribution to art, culture, music, literature. It is traditionally a desirable country for winter sports - skiing and snowboarding. Since 1945, Austria has been a neutral country, the headquarters of the UN and OPEC are located in Vienna, it serves as a place for peace negotiations, diplomatic meetings, and the signing of disarmament agreements. Socially and politically it is a very stable country with a strong and reliable system of social democratic support. Austria is hospitable and diverse, becoming home to people from all over the world: cities are small, you quickly settle in them, nature is incredibly beautiful, and the level of security is amazing.

By the way, Austrian schools also offer excellent environmental education for their students! It is a stimulating, supportive experience every day.

Paul McLean
Director of AIS-Salzburg since 1995

Paul is the Headmaster at The American International School in Saizburg. Paul became the Director of AIS-Salzburg in 1995, however he has been working in secondary education since 1983 when he started his teaching career in Colorado, USA. He was a sports coach for about 6 years and then moved to Austria, where he was already a teacher and administrator in Salzburg and Innsbruck (since 1989). In Paul's opinion, security level, stability (starting from the national level, social and political organizations), and strong social norms that allow children to live and learn in peace are the most important features to consider when choosing a school.
