Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
You would like to enrol your child with MCA? MCA welcomes all students, regardless of origin, ethnicity, nationality and religion. Visit us on our Open Day (the 1st Tuesday in October, November and May) and/or arrange a personal tour so we can show you around. Siblings of MCA students are given priority for admission. Registration deadlines are published in the Primary and Secondary parent information. Placement for grades 0–8 takes place directly at MCA after we receive the completed registration form, and a placement date is arranged. A parental interview is required for admission. Basic admission requirements include commitment to the goals and values of MCA; sufficient language skills in German or English; adherence to the school rules as described in the student handbook and signed by parents; sufficient financial means to cover school fees; and medical fitness to attend the school.
Scholarships: An application guide is provided. At the start of each school year (September) we collect the necessary data from parents who wish to apply for a scholarship. Rules for granting a scholarship and the application form are provided. The School Board, consisting of five members (representatives of teachers, parents and the Finance Board), decides which pupils receive scholarships and the amount, based on the agreed principles. Fundraising: MCA is financed by school fees, Federation subsidies and donations from Christian circles and sponsors; fundraising activities help cover the costs of Christian education and school life. Donations support school grants to pupils who would otherwise not be able to attend; the administration regards it as an honour to steward funds for the benefit of the children and we aim to keep fees affordable. Forms for applying for a scholarship can be obtained from the school secretary; all applications should be addressed to the treasurer responsible for finances. Tax deductibility in Austria is noted on the site.
Mayflower Christian Academy is a non-profit association offering a Christian education with public status recognized by the Austrian government. Located on the International Campus Vienna in Oberlaa, the school shares facilities with Arche Noah kindergarten, enabling collaboration in a community rooted in shared values. The curriculum combines the Austrian primary (grades 0–4) and lower secondary (grades 5–8) with plans to expand toward a Matura, using German as the language of instruction and intensive English supported by DaZ/DaF specialists. From grade seven, French becomes a main subject, and the school also offers Advanced Placement (AP) alongside the Austrian curriculum. A Digital Media Concept underpins learning with tablets and interactive boards. ErasmusPlus projects foster international mobility, while service-learning, arts, and mentoring programs strengthen academics, character, and leadership. The school belongs to International Campus Vienna and emphasizes Christian values, bilingual education, and preparation for study in Austria and beyond, and future study abroad.
