These informal informational get-togethers for new parents are organized twice a year in the AIS Vienna Theater: once in the fall for new parents and again after winter break for parents whose children join us mid-term.

Bingo Night - February 4, 2023

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Day - March 21, 2023
A special day, when we celebrate our AIS Vienna Heroes, our Teachers and Staff, and all that they do for our children.

UN Day - March 24, 2023, All day
This Elementary School hosted event, organized by the PTF with all school volunteers, that takes place in the AIS Vienna Gyms, provides our AIS Vienna students insight into the United Nations and their Sustainable Development Goals and into the many nations that make up our AIS Vienna Community. The day begins in the Mike Malloy Gym where we are joined by UN and Embassy representatives for a morning assembly and a culturally diverse concert performance by our ES children. This is followed by ES and MS children “travelling” to AIS Vienna represented country stands in the Lower Gym, hosted by our PTF Country Coordinators and national volunteers. Children travel and collect stamps in their “UN Day Passports” as they participate in fun, country / region specific quizzes or learning games.
To volunteer, please contact our UN Day Coordinators - Meike Legat & Charlene Adams.

International Food Festival - May 13, 2023, 18:00-22:00
Our most fabulous event; please pardon our bragging, but even our Alumni agree!

We complete this delicacy filled evening with a silent auction for the adults and a special basket raffle for our younger ones.
The Junior class work as service staff alongside the MA48 (Government Office for Waste Disposal) sustainability projects for their fundraising projects. Our IFF is a green and sustainable project that facilitates all glassware and cutlery use, the Juniors distribute and collect them while the MA48 set up a dish washing station outside the Sports Hall.

HS Career Fair – TBD
Come talk to our teens about your career!
At this time in their lives, many of our HS students have no idea yet, which career paths they might best be suited for. There is limited knowledge around them about the variety of career fields available and the requirements for those fields can change from year to year. Yet, already from 9th Grade, our teens must select classes that will determine their Higher Level IB choices, which in turn, will determine the university programs they will be qualified to enter. Our HS Parent Committee fills a gap, supports our school and students and organizes such events as our Career Talks, Career Fairs and Entrepreneurial Club.
Please contact the HS Parent Committee.
HS Career Explorations Workshops - TBD
Share your professional experience to support our High School students!
Which HS courses to take, CAS Project to initiate, university program to prepare for, and possible future-career to dream of? Students entering HS are already asking themselves these questions. “Career Explorations” will help our students build the skills needed to explore their choices!
Workshop for 9th Grade – Who Am I, What Will I Be?
Group activities will help students self-reflect on how interests and values can shape future fields of study and careers.
Workshop for 10th Grade – Me, Myself, and I
Presentations and group activities help students connect fields of study and career interests to their IB course selection at AIS Vienna, and they will explore how interests and activities connect to university applications and studies.
Workshop for 11th Grade – Future University CV & Interview
Juniors (and interested Seniors) participate in a one-to-one mock interview during which details of their CVs will be used to help them practice expressing their interests, abilities, and experiences as they would for university, internships, or even employment applications and interviews.
To join our panel of professional parent volunteers, please contact the HS Parent Committee.
Event Coordination
We would like to thank all of the Events Office and Maintenance Staff (“Werkstatt”) and the Tech Department for their continued support in the background of all our onsite events, as well as JT for his online support and photography / videography services!
