A home for global learners since 1992
Three decades of IB excellence in Vienna
Founded in 1992, Danube International School Vienna is the first IB World School in Vienna to offer all three International Baccalaureate programmes — PYP, MYP, and DP — under one roof. For more than 30 years we have been dedicated to empowering young people through a globally-minded, future-focused education that inspires curiosity, confidence, and compassion.
At DISV, we believe that education should engage and ignite passion. Our students are challenged to think critically, communicate thoughtfully, and lead with integrity. With over 60 nationalities represented, our vibrant community nurtures global-mindedness, intercultural understanding, and friendships that last a lifetime.
We know our students well. An exceptional 5:1 student-to-staff ratio means every learner receives the personalised support and challenge they need to thrive — in the classroom, on stage, in the lab, and on the sports field.
A community guided by experience
Under the leadership of Director Kirsty Sharp, DISV is led by educators who are passionate about international education and committed to every student's success. Our teachers are lifelong learners who bring world-class expertise to every classroom.
