After School Activities (ASA)

The After School Activities (ASA) programme at Danube International School Vienna enables students to participate in a wide range of activities to broaden their education, try new hobbies and develop skills to compete for school teams. We want students to develop new skills and gain an understanding of teamwork and commitment. The activities are primarily staff led, but we also use a number of external coaches to deliver various specialist courses. The ASA programme consists of a variety of choices and can include competitive sports to music and art, dance, robotics, debate, and language learning.

Students can choose two different activities each week and up to six in a year. With each session running for ten to eleven weeks. As the programme continues to grow each year, it is true that both leaders and students have a lot of fun learning together.

Below you can see more details about the artistic, cultural and sporting range of activities that we currently provide.

Music and the Arts

Unsurprisingly for Vienna, we have a wide range of artistic activities. 

We have a choir and percussion group, student bands across the age groups, recorder classes and a range of privately taught music classes taking place at the school. 

Our students have a range of movement and dance classes from beginner ballet, to modern, popular dance and yoga masters. In Secondary, our students also participate in drama performances and musical theatre.

In addition to dance, music and drama we have a range of art and crafts activities.

Cultural

The school has a wide range of cultural activities. 

Our older students are regularly involved in Model United Nations (MUN) and they attend MUN conferences annually. Most recently our students attended the MUN in Athens and Prague.
