Board of Trustees

Amadeus International School Vienna and the Music and Arts Academy was founded on the ideas of educating the next generations of world leaders in every field. Music and Arts shall serve to cultivate and unite.

AMADEUS –  Where Talents are embraced and nurtured.
INTERNATIONAL  – Where a Global Mindset is developed.
SCHOOL – Where Academic Excellence is encouraged.
VIENNA – Where Music and Arts flourish.

Located in Vienna’s lush, green 18th district, Amadeus International School Vienna is housed on a historic campus honouring Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis. The students of Amadeus International embrace and embody the legacy and spirit of Dr. Semmelweis, whose seemingly minor discovery in the 1840s impacted the entire world. Through the simple act of having doctors wash their hands, Semmelweis saved the lives of countless women and children. Just as today’s world was changed for better by the scientific mind of Semmelweis, so will tomorrow’s world be changed by the students who learn and thrive at Amadeus International School Vienna.
