About American International School - Salzburg
The American International School-Salzburg is an international, college-preparatory boarding school for students in grades 7 through 12 located in one of the most beautiful and culturally-rich cities in Western Europe. The academic program is purely college-preparatory and 100% of our students enroll in university programs in Europe, the UK and North America upon reception of our diploma.

The resident-care staff is separate from the teaching faculty and is dedicated to the guidance, supervision and care of the boarding students as full-time, resident staff members. The teaching faculty is very long-term and highly professional at delivering an outstanding college-preparatory curriculum and excellent preparation for university studies. Through participation in
