German as a foreign language
They are a voXmi school, which means it is a language friendly
school. All languages are worth the same for voXmi and each
language is a building block to a comprehensive linguistic education.
In Austrian schools, around 80 languages are spoken, from Armenian
to Zulu. Recognizing and promoting these language competencies is
of the utmost importance to society and the concern of voXmi.
Multilingualism includes not only the traditional foreign languages
taught at schools, but also all the native languages of learners and
teachers.
