Advantages of the IB Primary Years Programme
- We have a low teacher-to-student ratio which allows us to provide a differentiated curriculum with focused attention on the unique needs of each student. Our strong School Community, the AMADEUS Family, supports our new and existing students who come to us from schools around the world.
- Our experienced, well-qualified, international staff are highly trained and have years of experience teaching the Primary Years Programme. We recruit educators from around the world because we believe our students can best understand the concept of global citizenship when their teachers are themselves globally representative.
- The PYP curriculum encourages the development of globally-minded, curious, and independent learners. At AMADEUS Vienna, we prioritise literacy and numeracy in the primary years. We benchmark our students against international standards and use these to inform teaching, learning, and reporting.
- At AMADEUS Vienna we have a commitment to multilingualism. While English is our language of instruction, PYP students at AMADEUS Vienna also study German daily.
- We strive to make each child feel safe and at home. A rich variety of After School Activities allows our students to engage in creativity, sports, musical, fun, and artistic activities in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.
- We care for the whole child. Our Primary School has a strong Pastoral programme committed to supporting the growth of vibrant, resilient, and successful lifelong learners.
- Our creative Arts and Enrichment Programme allows all students to select a type of art, music, or dance once a week. In addition, there are Music, Art, and Choir lessons timetabled weekly.
- Digital Integration in the curriculum. Led by one of our Apple Distinguished Educators, AMADEUS Vienna now has one-to-one iPads in the higher grades in Primary School and one to two students in the lower grades. Every student has a digital portfolio that contributes to our Assessment, feedback, and reporting.
