humans in their community and show their social competences, intellectual skills and creativity. It’s a small private school, initiated and run by a parents’ association.
The school accommodates around 70 pupils in three different levels: “Primaria” 1, “Primaria” 2 and “Sekundaria”. In each level we have children of three different age-groups studying side by side. All levels have two classrooms, where the kids can learn according to special pedagogical principles found by Maria Montessori.
Our teacher team consists of eight full time teachers and a few additional ones that offer some special classes. Meet the team.
School is from Monday to Friday and always starts at 8am. While the younger kids return home between 12 and 1 o´clock, “Sekundaria” has also classes in the afternoon until 4 pm. from Tuesday to Thursday. On these days they prepare their own lunch.

“Galemo school” is situated very close to the station of Weidling in Klosterneuburg so that it is easy to reach by public transport and has a good linking from and to the center of Vienna. Klosterneuburg is a small town near Vienna. Within 30 minutes, the city center of Vienna is reachable by public transportation. Klosterneuburg is an old town with an impressive monastery, beautifully located at the Danube river. It offers a nice community living toits inhabitants and is surrounded by the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald), which offer great opportunities for hiking, walking and other outdoor activities. On the other hand, Vienna’s city life is near as well, and offers a broad spectrum of cultural activities and a lively nightlife.
