The mission of Danube International School is to provide a quality education in English for children of all nationalities. DIS offers a continuous international education from Kindergarten and culminating in study for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12.

The school seeks to prepare students to become citizens of the world through its commitment to the development of the whole child, both as an individual and as a member of the community. DIS emphasises the need for acceptance of personal responsibility, concern for others, service to the community and an understanding of people of differing culture, religion and social background.

Danube International School is situated in a newly renovated and modernised heritage building in the heart of Vienna.
