MERIDIAN Bilingual Primary School is an international private school with both German and English as their primary language of instruction. Your child will benefit from this immersive experience and gain the confidence needed to become a prospering student. Situated in the picturesque and historic location of Grinzing, Vienna, our future-oriented school model meets all the foundations needed for a diverse and inspiring school life.
Each classroom has a maximum of 20 students who are looked after by two native speakers – one with German and one with English as their mother tongue – who support their students throughout all subjects.
The MERIDIAN International School provides a safe, well-supervised and inspiring environment for acquiring new skills. Bilingualism at a very young age is proven to positively influence the child’s learning process, to increase their creativity and provide many other cognitive benefits.
The following subjects are taught in English from day one:
Geography, History, Biology, Music, Art, Handcrafts & Physical Education
As the MIS is an all-day primary school, daily classes take place from 8:30 am to 3:35 pm. To accommodate the demands of modern families we offer the possibility of extended morning, afternoon and holiday supervisions from 8am to 5pm. The students are encouraged to attend further excursions and extracurricular activities, which are also taught both in English & German. This way you do not have to worry any longer about finding an afternoon care for your child.

At the MERIDIAN Bilingual Primary School your child gets to enjoy the usage of two important languages from day one in their everyday school life. Studies show that bilingual education techniques that use the immersion method led to practically mastering the second language as if it were the mother tongue. In addition, cognitive skills such as creativity, language awareness or thinking in alternative solutions are encouraged.
Our goal at the MERIDIAN Bilingual Primary School is for our students to blossom in their linguistic, cultural as well as social identities. We encourage the children to be committed and responsible individuals and to approach other people, languages and cultures openly with empathy and respect.
The combination of the immersion method and our native speaking teachers enables our students to access a second language in a playful way. This builds the foundation for successfully developing comprehensive language skills.
Teaching based on the immersion method means being completely surrounded by a language. The students do not learn English or German through conventional language classes, but rather through the daily implementation in and after class.
Let your child deepen their language skills from day one in the multilingual setting at the MERIDIAN Primary School

In the Meridian bilingual school, students are exposed to both languages equally during the school day, rendering the students academically balanced bilinguals. I find their educational system perfect for kids. Kids can learn English and German with native speakers. Furthermore, children are offered a lot of different extracurricular activities.
P.S.: there are also preparation courses for kids who don’t speak English or German! It’s also a great benefit of the school!

About the MERIDIAN Bilingual Primary School?
The MERIDIAN Bilingual Primary School was founded in 2019 by Mag. Tatiana and Konstantin Dshajani. Our all-day private school is driven by our tireless pedagogical and administrative team as well as financially supported by school fees and further contributions paid by our students’ parents.
All our students are perfectly prepared for any German and/or International secondary school in Austria. Transferring to our School from a public school is possible at any time. We are currently planning our own secondary school for the long-run.
What options do the students have after graduating from the MERIDIAN Bilingual Primary School?
The MERIDIAN Bilingual Primary School is a private school without any religious background. We welcome students of all nationalities, ethnicities and religions. The Austrian state curriculum for primary schools includes religion as an obligatory subject. It is your choice whether your child should participate or not.
What is your approach to religion?
As the MIS is an all-day private school, the students will have their regular lessons from 8:30 am to 3:35 pm. Beyond this, we offer daily supervision (also during school holidays) from 8 am to 5 pm. Before and after class the students are free to take part in any extracurricular activities they choose, such as additional language classes.
