While the staff and faculty of AIS-Salzburg engage our summer language students in July and August, many of our school-year students are paving their way toward a very bright future by engaging in preparatory university programs around the world offered during our summer vacation period.  The competitive nature of university admissions, fueled by a dramatic rise in applications to tertiary institutions following two years of the Covid pandemic, has motivated many of our 11th and 12th graders to sacrifice a part of their summer break to improve their chances of success with admissions officers by participating in pre-university academic programs.

Carolina H., a senior student in the fall with one of the highest grade-point averages in the school, has been accepted to and is participating in the Yale University Summer Session, taking seminar classes with distinguished Yale faculty members and immersing herself in the rarified climate of learning in one of the world’s top universities.
