Stella International School in Vienna offers a Catholic, parental‑initiative, bilingual education for ages 2 to 16. The Donau campus houses Kindergarten, Primary and Gymnasium, with Kindergarten at 13C and Primary and Gymnasium at 13B near the D.C. Tower. The school delivers instruction in German and English to prepare students for a globalised world. The curriculum follows a Catholic framework and includes living faith as a daily element to shape a well‑rounded personality. A systematically structured programme develops habits such as generosity, honesty, self‑organisation, respect and responsibility for oneself and others, with regular meetings to coordinate targets with parents. Each student receives individual mentoring. Cambridge Certificates (Starters, Movers, Flyers) are awarded at the end of Grade 4 in line with CEFR. The school emphasises character education and leadership skills at secondary level and relies on community support, as public funds cannot cover crucial extra resources and activities for students' future success.
