The VES is not only a learning place but a social place as well: A home for children. Our children learn they are always welcome and are shown continued support in our school community. To develop confidence, children must share experiences such as learning, singing, games, and celebrations in a non-threatening, enriching environment. Children of different cultures, origins, religions, and education are taught the basics of understanding, tolerance, and mutual acceptance. Many of our joint activities and celebrations such as Carnival, Halloween, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick's Day, Christmas Fair, and Sleepover are designed to meet these goals.
Another goal was to create a school that trains the children and prepares them for a future filled with new requirements and expectations that we do not know of today. Formation and expansion of education through lifelong learning is a key foundation for the future of our society. The early formation process of our children is the foundation for the later learning processes of adolescents and adults. Our school is especially significant in its education and educational mission. Future living conditions are constantly changing which means that one of the basic tasks at our school is preparing each student for this change.
Schools face new educational challenges every day. In addition to the teaching of abstract knowledge and subject-related qualities, the school must strengthen self-reliance and self-confidence. To achieve this goal, we set theatrical pedagogical methods. Interdisciplinary learning in drama is an excellent example as well as music, language, visual arts, media education, rhythm, and dance combined. We believe one of the most important educational measures in our school is an integration of presentations, lectures, theater performances, and concerts. As you will see in our yearbook, we achieve this idea and will also continue to do so in the years to come. With these important goals of teaching, bilingualism plays a central role in our educational program. We receive much positive feedback from our graduates about the great work and dedication of our teachers. Therefore, my special thanks to all of our teachers who continue to present great dedication and patience to the children.
At Vienna Elementary School and Vienna European School, we not only focus on our teaching but also the encouragement of independent and creative work to promote pride in one’s self-performance. We are working to create a learning environment where the children can discover their learning styles without fear. Our goal is to encourage and support the children so they can develop their strengths and attributes.
