The development and developmental needs of each child are the focus. Educators accompany children and families on their path into adolescence. Cosmic Education (networked and mixed-age learning) is part of the Montessori approach. The school is multilingual, with German and English taught from the start, and Spanish added from the 4th grade. The healthy school environment includes exercise and fresh air on the premises, with organic snacks and lunches.
The school teaches German and English with native-speaker teachers. German and English are the languages of instruction and are used according to the language proficiency level in each subject.
Amavida International Montessori School Vienna offers Montessori education for children aged 6 to 12 in a German-English bilingual program with native speakers. The school is located on the countryside outskirts of Vienna at Dornbacher Straße 139, 1170 Wien, and holds public status recognized by the Vienna Department of Education. The curriculum follows Maria Montessori's concept, prioritizing holistic development over testing, with a prepared environment and hands-on materials guided by teachers who hold AMI or ÖMG diplomas. Classes are mixed in age (Primary 1 and Primary 2, a deliberate Big Mix) to foster social learning and independent exploration. From the 4th grade, Spanish is added as a third language. The school plans to open Grades 7-9 in 2027/28. Facilities include over 200m2 of learning space across multiple levels and a garden, plus a Forest Educator to support outdoor learning. After-school care runs Mon-Thu 8:15-15:00 and Fri 8:15-13:00, with optional afternoon sessions.
