Program for a Year, a Semester or a Trimester
After arriving in Vienna, you’ll attend an orientation to introduce you to Austrian life and culture.

You will attend a public school providing general education. Most students are placed in grade levels 10 or 11. The Austrian school system gives pupils plenty of free time since school days last until approximately 2 in the afternoon. While homework will take up some of that time, extracurricular offerings such as choir, sports, and theater groups are available.

Viaja con AFS

Austria sits in the heart of Europe, and has constantly been a crossroads for communication in Europe. This is due in part to Austria’s common borders with eight other countries—the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland.

Austrians are known for their _Gemuetlichkeit_—their characteristic way of taking things easy, and one way they relax is by skiing. There are more than 460 skiing lifts and more than 1700km of skiing slopes in the Austrian Alps. It is even possible to ski in summer.

Between New Year and Ash Wednesday, there are thousands of galas throughout the country. Famous Austrians include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who, among myriad other musical achievements, wrote the melody of the Austrian national anthem; Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele (famous art-nouveau artists); and the von Trapp Family as depicted in the Sound of Music.

Austria has a deep educational tradition, having established a compulsory school system in 1774.
