All participating students and parents must complete an online contract by the required deadline. This contract will include personal information, travel and hosting responsibilities and also the acceptance of the school's rules, all appropriate guidelines and family responsibilities.

When we travel as a team our students will be housed by families from the school we are visiting and thus all families are expected to house students from visiting schools when they travel to us. Families will be made aware of their responsibility at the start of each season. If a family is unable to host then it is the responsibility of the participating student to find an alternative host from outside the athletic community. The MOST important aspect of housing is that the guests are safe and cared for. It does not need to be a ‘luxury’ setting. Indeed for short stays a sleeping bag on the couch is absolutely fine.

The complete housing guidelines as well as individual housing grids can be found on our Housing Information page.

There are no specific sport physicals required at AIS.

However, all students are required to submit and updated medical history and physical exam before they resume school as a Grade 6 or Grade 9 student as well as all new students. Those who have not submitted the medical updates will not be permitted to practice or participate on sports teams.

For more information please see our Family Handbook.

The year is divided into three seasons and a student can only participate in one sport per season. Please see the Teams and Schedules page for more information.

There is a cost for travel and athletes must purchase a ‘Travel/Warm-up Suit’ at a cost of €70.00. The suit will be personalized and will remain the property of the athlete. For travel by road, rail or air to competitions outside of Vienna each student will pay 120% of the cost. (The extra 20% is used to help defray the trip expenses of coaches and chaperones.) At the start of the season students will be made aware of their travel commitments. If a student cannot travel he/she must note this on the contract. Parents will receive an invoice from the school via email for trips and/or tracksuits after the trip has taken place.

If a student has committed to travel on the contract and pulls out of the trip for ANY reason there may be a financial penalty. This does not include Travel Probation.

Should a student have one F or two D's or unsatisfactory effort grades they will be placed on Extracurricular Activities Travel Probation and will not be allowed to miss school for an event until their grades have improved.

Athletes must purchase a Travel/Warm up suit through the Events Office. Suits must be tried on before we order them. The suits are personalized wit the athletes' name on the back and their initials on the leg. The suits are the athletes' property. Swim suits are also purchased and kept. All other uniforms are provided by AIS for the season and returned afterwards. If a uniform is not returned the parents are invoiced a replacement fee.
