Our Mission Statement

The Innsbruck Elementary School is an enthusiastic, life-long learning community that is committed to supporting students of local and international backgrounds.

High expectations of teachers as well as students ensure a profound high-quality of education. At the same time, we foster self-confidence, self-discipline and self-worth in every student and this enables them to reach their full potential in school and beyond.

Our unique learning environment is characterized by close student, teacher, and family relationships and we understand that communication is an important key to our strong sense of community that is based upon the values of mutual respect, sincere compassion, shared responsibility and continual self-reflection.

At Innsbruck Elementary School, we follow the European curriculum.

The school has a strong focus on new forms of learning and teaching, such as informal education, co-operative and peer learning, cross-curricular teaching and project learning. Our students build a foundation in literacy, numeracy, cognitive and social skills and learn more about themselves, each other and the world through a broad curriculum.

The school’s program allows a team of English Native Speaker teachers and Austrian teachers to work in a team teaching environment. The co-teaching approach allows for differentiated learning, more one-on-one time with the students, peer learning through a hands-on style of teaching and enables a joint assessment of students’ progress.

„Die Innsbruck Elementary School stellt eine wertvolle Bereicherung für die Innsbrucker Schullandschaft dar und bringt eine Aufwertung für den Wirtschaftsstandort Tirol. Als Bildungslandesrätin freue ich mich sehr, dass das Angebot einer englischsprachigen Volksschule so gut angenommen wird und sich bereits eine sehr lebendige Schulgemeinschaft entwickeln konnte. Ich danke Frau Direktorin Gerlinde Prazeller und ihrem kompetenten LehrerInnenteam für das große Engagement und wünsche allen Schülerinnen und Schülern viel Freude beim Lernen!”

“My kids appreciate the Science and Peace Builders Class. Speaking English or German is interchangeable to them because of their learning environment.”

IES mother

“From the very beginning, we realised that the school was something special and both children have thoroughly enjoyed attending. The young and motivated team of teachers have helped them to progress in both English and German. The modern teaching techniques have clearly contributed to their social development and academic achievement. We could not possibly have expected more!”

IES father

„Für meine Tochter, die aus einer rein österreichischen Familie stammt, war es eine unglaublich tolle Chance mit der IES ihr Englisch auszubauen. Inzwischen spricht und schreibt sie fließend Englisch und auch die anfänglichen Bedenken ihre Deutschkenntnisse würden darunter leiden, waren total unbegründet.”

IES Mutter

“Every Sunday at dinner our daughter asks: `Will there be school tomorrow?,´ When we say `Yes´ she would always reply with a loud `YEAHH!!´ “

IES father

„Das Niveau, das Konzept und auch die Lehrer an der IES haben mich mehr als überzeugt.”

IES Mutter

“As my child is a combination of Austrian and American heritage, I feel it is extremely important for her to learn both languages. Both my wife and I clearly support IES and the teachers and staff who make this program great!”

IES father

“Sometimes I would like to be in the teachers´ skin! It is a great environment, for both work and fun. Thank you Innsbruck Elementary School for all you’ve done!”
