Vienna International School (VIS) is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious Umweltzeichen certification, making it the first international school to receive this honour in Austria. This year, both the Primary and Secondary schools have been accredited, building on the initial recognition of the Primary School in May 2019.
The Umweltzeichen organization supports Austrian schools and businesses by providing guidance and resources to involve students in sustainable activities, helping them understand the importance of environmental stewardship. Through this certification, VIS will continue to receive support in its mission to offer a comprehensive Education for Sustainable Development.
This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of the entire VIS community, including students, staff, and parents, who have all contributed to making sustainability a core part of the school's ethos. By embedding these practices into the curriculum and daily operations, VIS not only improves its educational quality but also prepares its students to be responsible global citizens.
