Letter from the Principal

Welcome to IES!

I am pleased to introduce you to Innsbruck Elementary School, Tirol’s first English speaking elementary school and as off autumn 2023/24 Austria’s first Accredited European School.

Our young and enthusiastic team of English and German native speaker teachers work in a learning environment that is characterized by openness, mutual respect and cultural diversity.

IES ensures a profound high-quality education for students from international backgrounds as well as for local Tyrolean children.

Our goal is for our current classes to teach the Austrian standard curriculum in English and in future to bring the European curriculum in both English and German to our students. Our focus lies with the language development of each child in a multicultural environment.Thereby, we place a high value on independent and student-centered learning and see respect and tolerance as additional pillars of our teaching philosophy.

We are looking forward to welcoming all interested families to our school!
