The American International School of Vienna is a not-for-profit school international school made up structurally of the parents of each student at the school. The school operates, in part, under the sponsorship of the United States Ambassador to Austria and awards the American Diploma, which all graduates receive. In addition, students can also earn an International Baccalaureate Diploma and/or an Austrian Matura by fulfilling extra requirements.
The school's mission is to provide a culture of educational excellence, a nurturing environment, and an atmosphere of open communication. It aims to prepare a diverse student body for higher education; to inspire the youth to realize their potential; to foster life-long learning, tolerance, personal integrity, and democratic values; and to prepare the students to become responsible adults, with respect for different cultures and beliefs.
