Our long-term teaching faculty work closely with our resident-care staff to establish a familiar atmosphere where every student feels cared for personally and appropriately challenged academically.

The city of Salzburg is world-renowned for its cultural heritage and intimate beauty.  Nestled in the foothills of the Austrian Alps and on the border with Bavaria, Salzburg sits in the middle of Western Europe and equidistant from major European cities such as Berlin, Paris and Rome.  The physical beauty of the city of Salzburg with its Baroque charm, as well as the countryside with its lakes and mountains, offers a uniquely beautiful setting for our students.  With a population of just under 150,000, Salzburg itself is small enough to quickly get acquainted with and large enough—as the provincial capital—to have all of the amenities and necessary infrastructure to meet our students’ needs.  Three large hospitals, an international airport, and outstanding sports facilities are close at hand.
