An academically challenging and balanced programme of education, the DP prepares students for success at university and in life after graduation. It emphasises the intellectual, social, emotional and physical well-being of students, and prepares students for effective participation in a rapidly evolving and increasingly global society.
The DP at AMADEUS International School Vienna is designed to:
- Promote students’ development physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically
- Enable the acquisition of breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, studying courses from six subject groups
- Develop the high-level skills and a positive attitude toward learning that will prepare students for higher education
- Support the study of at least two languages and increase understanding of cultures, including their own
- Make connections across traditional academic disciplines and explore the nature of knowledge through the programme’s unique theory of knowledge (TOK) course
- Promote in-depth research into an area of interest through the lens of one or more academic disciplines in the Extended Essay
- Enhance students’ personal and interpersonal development through creativity, activity, service (CAS)
