Austria
Hallo!
Austria is a landlocked country in the centre of Europe and famous for its amazing nature and its culture and art scene. The capital, Vienna, is a cultural and historical centre, as there are many palaces, museums, coffee houses and theatres.
*Austria will consider accepting students aged 14 on arrival to program on a case by case basis.
Language RequirementS
Students who do not speak German must be prepared to participate in an online learning program. They will most likely have to participate in language courses (private tutor, in their school or a language school) while on the program, which is not included in the program fee. Please get in touch with us for approximate costs.
School
There are a vast variety of schools in Austria, including Gymnasiums (which prepare students for university), vocational or technical schools. It is very likely that during your stay in Austria you will be able to explore new areas of knowledge or that you can specialise in your chosen field.
Family
Vienna is considered a “melting pot” because of its culturally diverse citizens, but each part of the country also shows different influences from their neighbouring or intrinsic cultures. The Austrian population is very diverse.
There is no “typical” Austrian family: While some of the host families live in urban areas, the majority lives in the countryside. While some families love to do outdoor activities such as skiing or riding a bike, others are more interested in culture, or in socializing with their family members. While some families are large, especially in rural areas, and their grandparents and relatives play an important role in everyday life, other families are quite small and sometimes headed by a single parent. In many families both parents work outside home.
