The American International School-Salzburg is an international, college-preparatory boarding school for students in grades 7 through 12 located in one of the most beautiful and culturally-rich cities in Western Europe. The academic program is purely college-preparatory and 100% of our students enroll in university programs in Europe, the UK and North America upon reception of our diploma. As a true boarding school with around 90% of our students resident on campus, the school offers a very wide variety of extracurricular and weekend activities including sports, ski trips, overnight trips, and multi-day excursions. The resident-care staff is separate from the teaching faculty and is dedicated to the guidance, supervision and care of the boarding students as full-time, resident staff members. The teaching faculty is very long-term and highly professional at delivering an outstanding college-preparatory curriculum and excellent preparation for university studies. Through participation in and passing Advanced Placement® Examinations, students at AIS-Salzburg can meet entrance requirements at universities in continental Europe, the UK, and North America, provided they meet linguistic requirements as well. At the present time, approximately one-third of our graduates matriculate to universities in North America, one-third go to the UK, and the final third enroll in universities and university systems here in Continental Europe.

The American International School-Salzburg is primarily a full boarding school with over 80% of its students living on the school campus in dormitory rooming. However, between 15% and 20% of the students live in the immediate area in and around Salzburg and join AIS for instruction as day students.

The teaching faculty is released from any boarding duties and focuses only on the delivery of a college-preparatory curriculum. The teachers are relatively free to select and carry out the methodology, strategies and establish academic parameters which represent best-practice in their academic subject areas. Unlike many international schools, the teaching faculty of AIS-Salzburg is very long-term with most of the faculty members having over 20 year's experience at AIS-Salzburg.
