Austria: Montessori Dorfschule MuWi

About the local hosting organization

We are a small, personal Montessori school in a rural setting. Children at our school learn from Grade 1 to Grade 6. Currently, 17 children attend our school. Two Montessori teachers work at our school. Our after-school care programme is also run by two educators. In addition, there is a school director. The students are divided into two classes. Primaria 1 includes Grades 1 to 3, and Primaria 2 includes Grades 4 to 6. Our school day consists of learning time, community projects, and cooking lessons. We enjoy going on excursions, visiting local businesses and museums in the surrounding area, and occasionally taking the train to Vienna.
