Registration starts: Free summer learning offers for Viennese students!

Uraniastraße 1, 1010 Wien, Österreich - On April 28, 2025, registration for the free learning and language support offer "Wiener Sommerlernen 2025", which was launched by the City of Vienna. This offer is aimed at pupils of the elementary schools as well as the middle schools and AHS lower levels and will cover an extensive period from July 21 to August 28. The aim of the initiative is to offer Viennese students who need support in summer to offer targeted learning aids in order to optimally prepare them for the coming school year.

The initiative includes two main offers: the VHS summer learning stations and the Vienna summer German courses, which are carried out by the educational institutions Interface Vienna and the Vienna Education Directorate. Registration for both programs begins on April 29, 2025 and can take place both online and personally at the respective VHS locations, such as

The summer learning stations are designed for elementary school students in grades 1 to 4 and for middle and AHS suburban students in grades 1 to 4. At a total of 20 locations in 16 districts, the students are prepared for exams in playful settings. These units take place weekly and offer a flexible opportunity for the students. According to VHS , a special course for newcomers to school is also offered that will be subject to school in the coming autumn.

Viennese summer German courses and multilingualism

The Viennese summer German courses, which are aimed at extraordinary students, begin on July 7th and end on August 14th. These courses are created for two weeks and emphasize the promotion of German language skills. The fact that around 53 % of Viennese students are multilingual, as was documented by wien.gv.at . The initiative takes this multilingualism into account and actively promotes both the German language and the first languages ​​of the students.

Overall, the statistics show that a high proportion of Viennese, especially with a migration background, can communicate in several languages. Good control of the first language can be advantageous for learning German as a second language, which underlines the importance of the programs offered. In addition, 90 % of Viennese support help for children who have difficulties in German.

Registrations for the VHS summer learning stations are possible from April 29. Both a personal and online registration is planned at all VHS locations. This offer offers a valuable opportunity to convey the necessary skills for school success and at the same time promote multilingualism in Vienna.
