Accommodation

Schloss Krumbach International School is a boarding school, a home away from home, and we take residential comfort and safety of our students with utmost care and attention to detail.

With a balanced 6-meals-a-day nutrition, daily sports, a wide range of extracurricular activities, and a multicultural support to the academics, Schloss Krumbach students are always on a path of steady growth, whether intellectually, culturally or physically.

Schloss Krumbach International School sets a new benchmark within the category of highest quality and sophisticated boarding education.

The school building is a castle situated on a hilltop between two forest reserves overlooking the village of Krumbach, which is about a one-hour drive from Vienna. Our dormitories are a love from the first sight. Students live in light spacious rooms of 22-40 m2, on average, that have been converted from a luxury hotel. Girls and boys occupy separate residential blocks.

Given our past as a luxury 5* star hotel and spaciousness of a castle, we make sure our students thrive not only academically but also physically. Again, rather than being confined in their rooms and houses, at our boarding school students move around the premises feely, enjoy sunshine, fresh air, outdoor and indoor sports, and so much more.

Eating healthy is living healthy. At SKIS, we have created an extraordinarily well-balanced and effective approach to ensuring a healthy nutrition and cultivating eating habits amongst our students. Meals are provided at the school’s dining hall on a full board basis.
