SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION
School attendance is compulsory for all children living permanently in Austria. Children, who have turned six years of age, have to start school in September after their sixth
birthday. Compulsory school attendance in Austria lasts nine years.
The first four years children generally go to elementary school. After that comes either junior high school* or a so called “general secondary school” for
another four years. Thereafter, you either go to a “polytechnical” school for one year or move on to a general secondary school for another four or five years.
The educational- and school system in Austria is very manifold and offers a great variety of school types (humanities, economics, technical schools, etc.). So children can receive a broad spectrum of training and education, depending on their skills and competences.
You can find important general information at Bildungsdirektion Kärnten General information on education in Austria can be found here.
