Teaching approach of the school |
Our concept considers that classes at our bilingual elementary school are based on the Austrian curriculum. This is supplemented by elements of international pedagogy as well as voluntary mother tongue additional offers. The children are ideally prepared in our elementary school for a visit to an Austrian grammar school or an international school. The Meridian international school will serve as ideal prerequisite for any public or private German-speaking grammar school (Gymnasium), as well as any international secondary school in Austria. |
