Our philosophy

Children learn best when they feel welcome, can ask questions and are known by their teachers. VES combines individual attention with languages, practical projects, music and theatre.

Founded in 2001 by Dr. Sigrid Schauberger, the school encourages independent work, respect for others and confidence in presenting ideas.

In Vienna’s 18th district

Our campus is in Währing, close to Türkenschanzpark and Sternwartepark. Three school buildings are connected by the Elementary School playground.
