Admissions

Applicants may apply to Schloss Krumbach International School throughout the year, though the preferable time to begin the admissions process is at the beginning of the academic year.

Indeed, we do encourage early applications because for our school, it is very important to make sure that not only do students meet the expectations of our highly demanding academic program, but also that the program is the right fit for each individual student. Applying in advance also gives international students sufficient time to make an informed decision, visit the school premises, start preparing for the school year in advance, and manage all the visa requirements for the country of Austria.

To learn more about the education fees and additional costs, please check our Fees page.

The school year at SKIS starts at the end of August, yet we consider applications at any point throughout the year.

To start the Admissions Process, you need to pay the Application Fee (300 euro) and complete an Application Form below or contact our Admissions Office, at info@krumbach.school or through +43 676 54 09 630

As an academic and boarding institution, we strive to provide a robust unilateral framework of trust and support in which our students grow and develop into their best versions of themselves. 

Yet all of their success paths, passions and interests, are one-of-a-kind and beautifully different from each other, and we are proud of that & remain committed to fostering this diversity through a range of academic opportunities, challenging syllabi, co-curricular culture trips, social skills clubs, athletic events, and extracurricular activities.

Whether it is school staff, students or parents, all members of our school community should be on the same page.
