The American International School - Salzburg > Admissions and Tuition

Admissions

If you are inclined to apply for admission to AIS-Salzburg, you need to be certain that all of your questions have been answered by the school personnel, faculty, administration and staff.

AIS-Salzburg has a rolling admissions process whereby applications can be accepted throughout the year and a waiting list is created only after all dormitory spaces have been filled.   We recommend, therefore, that your applications be submitted and complete before May 31 of each year.  This is especially important if you require a visa to enroll in our school as the process can take up to eight weeks to complete successfully.  

Please look through the steps below and let us know if you have any questions.

Application Process

STEP 1

Please fill out this Student Application Web Form. If printing and filling out by hand, please send it to: admissions@ais-salzburg.at .

Please send by email:

  • a photograph
  • copies (not originals!) of your transcripts from your present school including (a) a copy of the most-recently completed school year and (b) grade reports received for the current school year.  These should be translated into English.

STEP 2

Request that your most-recent English and Mathematics teachers fill out this English Teacher Recommendation Form and this Mathematics Teacher Recommendation Form and send them directly to [email protected] .

STEP 3

If you are a non-native English speaker and are not applying from a school or program in which English is the language of instruction, please send the results of an English proficiency test or exam taken in the previous three months.  This can be an IELTS, Cambridge, TOEFL/TOEFL Junior examination or other approved evaluation.  If you plan on visiting our campus, English testing can be done here during your visit.

STEP 4

The application fee of €75 can be transferred to the AIS-Salzburg account.  Here is the information required for such transfers.  Checks are also accepted.
