Rated the most liveable city in the world, Vienna is home for many international families (there are 111 nationalities on roll) making VIS a popular choice, in particular for those associated with the UN. The core values of the UN and the Sustainable Development goals permeate the school, and form a solid base for educating compassionate, caring advocates for social justice and climate change. The Eco school award is testament to their successful focus on sustainability. There is an energy about the place, driven by a clear vision and a culture of creativity and respect within the multicultural and multilingual community. Plenty of ECA’s give each child a chance to shine and to develop into effective citizens for a world that is rapidly changing.
