Primary Education
Primary Education
Our school offers primary education for grades 1 to 6 (ages 6–12) following the Swedish curriculum, Lgr 22.
Since 2012, our school has been granted Öffentlichkeitsrecht by the Austrian School Board for grades 1–6. This prestigious certification ensures that our instruction meets the same high standards as Austrian schools. It also authorizes us to issue legally recognized report cards (Schulzeugnisse), making it simple for students to transition seamlessly into Austrian or international schools.
By combining the rigor of the Swedish curriculum with Austrian educational standards, we provide our students with an exceptional and versatile foundation for future learning.

Through engaging and dynamic teaching methods, complemented by exciting excursions, we aim to spark curiosity and lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Additionally, students are invited to participate in class and school councils, empowering them to positively influence their learning environment while also fostering a sense of responsibility and community.

Language learning is a key priority at the Swedish School in Vienna. Students in grades 2–6 receive four German lessons per week, while grade 1 has two lessons weekly. All language lessons are taught by native-speaking, highly qualified teachers in Swedish, German, and English.
To help students naturally integrate into Austrian society, we collaborate with an Austrian partner school and engage in various cultural activities, including local visits. This approach not only strengthens language skills but also fosters a deeper understanding of the surrounding culture and community.
