Volksschule SmartCity Leopoldinum opened in September 2019 in Graz on the Smart City campus near Helmut List Halle and Science Tower. It is an officially authorized IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme to all students, with multilingual instruction including English and German classes.

Staff are trained to implement the PYP, supporting inquiry-based, transdisciplinary learning and globally minded learners.

The school emphasizes wellbeing and community partnerships with families and local institutions worldwide.
