Curriculum

  • The school follows a full-day curriculum: learning sequences and interest-based lessons alternate throughout the school day – in accordance with the needs and abilities of the children.
  • Trained leisure-time educators with an excellent command of English along with native speakers are available during play time. A binding schedule provides the structure for this model and meets the hour requirements for each school level as specified in the Austrian curriculum.
  • Pupils learn a second language by using the immersion method. English literacy, which includes reading and writing in English, sound training, and initiating and understanding simple sentence structures begins in the first year of schooling.
  • Therefore, English is offered as a second language of instruction at the International School Krems from the beginning to promote international orientation and language competence.
