Language Check

Assessing Reading and Writing Skills

As part of the admission process, students complete a language check to demonstrate their reading and writing skills in their academic language. This assessment consists of various tasks that can be completed in either German or English.

Students will be asked to read a short text and respond to comprehension questions, as well as produce a written text based on a picture, word prompt, or short passage. This allows them to showcase their ability to structure their thoughts, express ideas clearly, and apply their language skills in a creative and coherent manner.

The language check helps us assess whether students have the necessary proficiency to successfully follow the curriculum and determine if additional language support may be beneficial.

The tasks should be familiar from primary school.

Duration 1 hour

Parent-child Interview

The interview times will be communicated at registration. We would like to get to know you as parents and your child better. For this purpose, you will have a conversation with the teaching team. Parents conduct the interview separately from their child, as the children answer questions and solve a group task in small groups.

Duration 1 hour

LISA support association / LISA membership fee

In contrast to many other international schools, LISA is publicly run and not a private school. The LISA support association was founded in 1992 to finance services that are not covered by the Austrian state. The support association manages the annual membership fee and sponsorship money, which is used to finance, among other things, books, teaching materials, assistance hours and additional support courses. When joining LISA, parents decide to become a member of the support association. The membership fee is 700 Euros per student per school year (starting academic year 2025-26). For parents with several children in LISA, the membership fee for the second child is reduced to 600 Euros per school year (starting academic year 2025-26). Please note that if you register or deregister during the school year, the membership fee for the semester that has begun will be charged in full. The membership fee for the Academy programme (international programme for 11th and 12th grades) is 2,800 Euros per student per school year (starting academic year 2025-26). Further information about the Academy programme can be found here: https://lisa.europagym.at/lisa-academy-program/
