Education
Kindergarten
Most children in Austria go to kindergarten between the ages of three and six, although
kindergarten is not mandatory. Children under the age of three may go to a nursery
(“Kinderkrippe”). Finding a place in a nursery and a kindergarten, however, can be quite
difficult. Viennese nurseries and kindergartens are free of charge for people with their main
residence in Vienna; only a monthly contribution for food needs to be paid.
Private nurseries and kindergartens are available. Monthly fees do apply. Finding a place
may be difficult, too. Therefore, we recommend flexibility when choosing a private
kindergarten. It may not be possible to send one’s child(ren) to the one nearest the
residence. Further information may be obtained at the respective Viennese authority (‘MA
10’):

Schools
Children who have reached the age of six are required to attend school, e.g. an Austrian
primary school (“Volksschule”). Children attend primary school for four years and usually go
to the school that is nearest to their residence. Bilingual schools (English/German) are also
available, e.g. as follows:
