Technology, IT & science
In Computer Science, we look at how digital systems work and how to use technology to solve problems. In biology, chemistry and physics, we test ideas through observation and practical work.
- Think logically about a problem and break it into steps.
- Work with information and explain how you reached a conclusion.
Skills & support
Rhetoric & public speaking
Rhetoric is a key part of Senior High. We practise building an argument, listening to different views and presenting ideas clearly in front of an audience. Our students take part in the Wiener Redewettbewerb and SAG’S MULTI.
Business & entrepreneurship
In Business Studies, we develop ideas and present them. We go on regular field trips to connect what we learn in class with the way organisations work in practice.
Individual learning & university visits
Our students visit universities in Vienna while they are still in Senior High. These visits give them a chance to explore subjects, get to know university life and think about their next step. We provide extra German support for students who need it.
