International Christian School of Vienna

Yes. ICSV welcomes students from many different school systems worldwide, so all prospective students complete age and grade-appropriate admissions testing to help us determine their academic needs and enrollment eligibility.

As part of the admissions process, a standardized Cognitive Aptitude Test, known as CAT4, is conducted to evaluate the cognitive skills of applicants and determine their grade level placement. This test cannot be prepared for, and it helps us to place students appropriately. Non-native English-speaking students complete an in-person English language assessment at our school. This assessment helps the admissions committee evaluate the student’s English proficiency in writing, listening, speaking, and reading. If taking the English assessment in person is not possible, students can alternatively submit recognized international English language certificates, such as TOEFL, IELTS, or Cambridge English. Please note that no other English certificates are accepted when in-person testing cannot be completed, and the results must be less than one year old at the time of the application review. Students with identified learning needs are required to provide a psycho-educational report and/or their most recent IEPs. Additional in-person testing at ICSV is required to ensure that we fully understand their learning needs and can determine the availability of appropriate support within our program.

Yes. Once we reach capacity in a grade level or within our Student Support Services, such as the English Language Learner (ELL) program or Learning Support (LS), students may be placed in our waiting pool. Only students who qualify for acceptance after completing the admissions process including admissions testing can be placed in the waiting pool. We encourage students who may require Student Support Services to apply as early as possible, as spaces are limited.

ICSV has a rolling admissions policy, meaning that applications are processed throughout the school year, and students can be accepted as long as vacancies are available. Prospective families who think that a move to Vienna or ICSV may be possible are encouraged to submit an application as early as possible (ideally as early as October). This allows families to gather application materials early.

Yes, if capacity allows.
