1. Contact AIS Vienna Admissions before starting the application to inquire about grade-level availability, confirm the grade level by consulting the grade-level chart, and request a virtual or in-person appointment with an AISV Admissions representative to learn more about the school and your family's needs. 2. Complete your application by visiting the Apply Now! page, creating an account to access the Application Portal, and submitting an application for each student with the required items; missing items should be discussed with AISV Admissions. Submitting an application does not guarantee admission; admission requires a completed and positively reviewed application and a grade-level place to be available. 3. Complete Academic Screening after your application is finished; screenings may be online or in-person. Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grade 1 use an in-person Early Childhood Screening; Grades 2-8 complete in-person or online math and English screenings; Grades 9-12 complete in-person or online math placement tests and online English assessments if applicable; additional screenings or documents may be requested. 4. Receive Admissions Decision after the admissions committee reviews the completed application; decisions can be an Offer of Admission (place available and in order of AISV Admissions Priority Categories), a Waitlist (place not yet available), or Denied (not meeting standards or programs at capacity). AISV maintains waiting pools in each grade level for one school year; if no place becomes available, the family may roll the application over to the next school year. 5. Confirm Enrollment if an offer is accepted by paying the Reservation Fee within 10 days, agreeing to AISV policies within 10 days, and signing the enrollment contract within 10 days; submit medical forms by May 31 or upon mid-year entry, provide final report card or transcript from the previous school by July 31 or upon mid-year entry, and be prepared for any additional screenings before arrival. 6. Start School and participate in New Family Orientation (August only) the day before the first day of the school year; orientation covers meeting teachers, touring the school, meeting student buddies, tech training for Grades 6-12, and logistics like bus and lunch; mid-year admits receive orientation information on arrival. 7. Start-of-year application timelines include opening in autumn, a best-possible “best consideration” deadline of February 1, and admissions decisions on or after April 1, with priority categories honored through April 1; rolling admission is available for Pre-K to Grade 8 and semester-based admissions for Grades 9-11 pending place availability. Acceptance requires completion of all items, and places are not guaranteed until contracts and payments are settled. 8. Payments typically occur as follows: Application Fee at application, Reservation Fee within 10 days of offer, and the remaining tuition and fees by August 31 (or by the due date if mid-year enrollment). 9. Start-of-year and mid-year entries may involve additional screenings or documentation before arrival.

AIS Vienna maintains waiting pools in each grade level for positively reviewed applications for one school year; if no place becomes available, the family may roll over the application to the next school year. An offer of admission can be made when the itemized requirements are completed, the application is positively reviewed, and a place is available in the required grade level; the pool and offer timings follow the process outlined above.
