Around the world, there are cities (like Vienna) that have more than one international school. Many times\u00a0there is an American school, a British School, and an international school that uses an international curriculum.<\/p>\n

Some cities, though, have MANY international schools! \u00a0When that is the case, how do the comments about each school compare to each other?<\/p>\n

This\u00a0blog series looks at comparing some of these comments, all coming from international schools in the same city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vienna<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Currently,\u00a0we have 5 schools listed in Vienna\u00a0<\/b>on International School Community.<\/p>\n

4 of these schools have had comments submitted on them. Here are some that have the\u00a0most submitted comments:<\/p>\n

AMADEUS International School Vienna<\/a> (76 Total Comments)
\nAmerican International School Vienna<\/a>\u00a0(81 Total Comments)
\nDanube International School\u00a0<\/a>(14 Total Comments)

Amount of money left to be saved<\/u><\/b><\/h3>\n

“You don’t save that much working here, but on average a single teacher could save around 2500 Euros a year.” –\u00a0Vienna International School<\/a><\/p>\n

“If you are smart with money, you could save around 2-4 Euros a year.” –\u00a0Danube International School\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“This will vary greatly depending on spending habits and situation. As a single, and putting aside 15% toward retirement, living alone in a decent flat, traveling occasionally, I’ve saved about 9000 euro each year. Even with more travel and going out to eat more, it seems reasonable that one could save 2500-5000 each year.” –\u00a0American International School Vienna<\/a>

\"\"<\/p>\n

School Campus<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

“The buildings have undergone several renovations, some of which weren’t really necessary in my opinion, but nice to see that the owners care about the facilities.” –\u00a0AMADEUS International School Vienna<\/a><\/p>\n

“The campus is next to very large Prater park, housed in an early 20th century building, next to Danube Canal.” –\u00a0Danube International School<\/a><\/p>\n

“Overall, there are more than 70 classrooms, seven science labs, art studios, music rooms, four computer labs, two libraries, a theatre, two gyms, a cafeteria, health unit, and a separate sports hall (which houses three indoor tennis courts or two basketball courts or ten badminton courts). There are various offices for counseling, the International Baccalaureate program, division offices, technology, and faculty departments. The exterior facilities include a soccer field, a running track, an elementary playground, an outdoor tennis court, and an outdoor amphitheatre.” –\u00a0American International School Vienna<\/a><\/p>\n

Housing Information<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

“Not everyone receives housing allowance.” –\u00a0AMADEUS International School Vienna<\/a><\/p>\n

“Housing and living expenses are high for single teachers with dependents and for families with non-teaching spouses.” –\u00a0American International School Vienna<\/a><\/p>\n

“The school offers a loan to pay for your housing, you need to pay it back within the first year. They help out with rental agency fees.” –\u00a0Danube International School\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“You get a housing allowance for the first few weeks of your placement. Around 1000 Euros.” –\u00a0Vienna International School<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Health insurance and medical benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Local medical insurance is provided.” –\u00a0Vienna International School<\/a><\/p>\n

“Expat teachers just get health insurance through the local social health care system in Austria. No dental.” –\u00a0Danube International School\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“Outpatient is not covered, you can reimburse 85% of bills up to a maximum of 2,500,000 per year.” –\u00a0American International School Vienna<\/a><\/p>\n

“Vienna has excellent hospitals, the AKH (General Hospital of Vienna) is close to school and has a good reputation. Waiting time can be long though. However, the doctors are great” –\u00a0AMADEUS International School Vienna<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
