Programs
Full-Time School, Learning Support, Vienna Campus, and Licensing for Schools use the same learning model, adapted to different settings.
Programs
Same learning model, same mentors, same philosophy, delivered online, on campus, or inside a partner school.
For children who need to catch up, or pull ahead, in specific subjects. Math, English, science: we find the actual gaps, close them, and prove they stay closed.
The full experience: a complete, mastery-based American curriculum with a US high-school diploma pathway, life-skills portfolio, peer cohorts, seminars, and a mentor who knows your child.
A real school on a real campus, the Otto Wagner Areal on Baumgartner Höhe, opening September 2027. The living lab where the Ainstein method runs all day: AI-personalized academics in the morning, human formation all afternoon.
Your school, your curriculum, made AI-native. Ainstein doesn’t replace what you teach; it transforms how students relate to it, with teachers firmly in control.
The credential
Because it doesn’t reduce school to one exam. Most systems, the Matura, the IB, A-levels, funnel years of learning toward a single centralized final, and every lesson quietly bends toward it. The American high-school architecture is different: credit-based, school-designed, reviewed by external accreditors. It’s the recognized credential structure flexible enough to hold mastery pacing, portfolios and life competencies, while keeping your child legible to universities worldwide.
Diploma, transcript and portfolio, plus SAT/ACT and AP courses in Years 11–12, when the target colleges ask for them.
Honestly: a US diploma alone is not a Matura. Austrian and German universities typically want the diploma plus about four AP exams, so students targeting Europe plan exactly those into Years 11–12.
For the child who builds a company, a craft, a body of work: the capstone, the portfolio and the Life Skills Record stand on their own, capability without a gatekeeper’s stamp.
Standardized finals are optional, and on purpose: a Year-12 sprint toward a door your child actually wants to walk through, never the water they swim in for twelve years.
Will university still be the gate in ten, fifteen, twenty years? We don’t know. Nobody does, and a school that claims to know is selling something.
The diploma is not the whole promise. Your child leaves with evidence of what they can build, the habit of asking better questions, and the range to connect disciplines when the next problem refuses to fit a box.
Why Vienna
Bells, rows of desks, age cohorts, grades for obedience, the operating system of school was written here, 250 years ago, to produce “useful subjects for the state.”
We think Vienna owes the world its replacement. The question is no longer “did you obey?” It’s “who will you become?”
The campus: the Otto Wagner Areal on Baumgartner Höhe, a protected Art Nouveau ensemble Otto Wagner designed more than a century ago, pavilions standing in vast gardens at the edge of the Vienna Woods. It was built on the conviction that light, air and beauty do people good. We can’t think of a better place to prove that school can, too.
Founding families
A 20-minute conversation, no obligation. We’ll tell you honestly whether Ainstein fits your child, including when it doesn’t.
