Want to know just how important the American International School of Vienna really is?

Named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, you can already tell what kind of school the Amadeus International School Vienna is. While it's an Ib school through and through, it largely focuses on students' artistic abilities, more specifically those gifted in music. Their music program is one of the best among the many primary and secondary schools in the city. So much so that the institution has long given its most gifted students the opportunity to study in the Amadeus Academy of Music, one of the most internationally-respected music schools in the world. But make no mistake, academics still weigh a lot in terms of students' overall success.
Vienna is on its way to becoming a major global city in-league with many other European capitals. And that will be thanks in large part to the many prominent international schools that will produce the future leaders of tomorrow.
