GTVS 15., Reichsapfelgasse 30

Our school is a full-day- primary school in Vienna, Austria, in the 15 th district.

This year we have 340 pupils from 6 to 11 years in 15 classes.

Lessons, exercises and spare time are mixed from 7:45 until 15:30. We also offer meals in school.

If parents need it, their children can stay in school from 7:15 to 17:30.

Beside the classrooms, equipped with computer and internet and rooms for woodwork and needlework, we have rooms for PE, recreation rooms and large playgrounds.

In our school you can find a wide variety of teaching methods.

We work in projects, e. g. Montessori oriented and use different kinds of free and individual work – but also more traditional methods have room.

Because our pupils come from more than 20 countries, we offer many kinds of extra language teaching and we have installed an “international class”.

English lessons start from the first year, we also offer courses in Croatian as mother-tongue.

In the “integration-class” for physical or psychical challenged children there are less pupils and additional teachers for children with special needs to provide more resources.

We offer many creative and musical activities as well as sports (dancing, instruments, soccer, painting, ice-skating, …) in the recreational time.

It is important to acquire social skills in the elementary school. We especially try to compensate deficits in this field.

Our aim is to educate responsible citizens, who are able and willed to think and act creative, critical and independently.
