Join the ISC Parent Association
A community of parents, Parent Representatives and the school, working side by side to ensure every family feels welcomed, informed and empowered to shape life at ISC.
A partnership between families, Parent Representatives and the school
The ISC Parent Association exists to strengthen the partnership between parents, the Parent Representatives and the school. Our mission is to foster an engaged, supportive and connected community where every family feels welcomed, informed and empowered to contribute to the life of ISC.
Our role extends well beyond organising events. We provide opportunities for parents to connect, share ideas and contribute to the school community in ways that suit their interests and availability. By fostering positive relationships between parents, Parent Representatives and the school, we help enhance the overall experience of every ISC family.
Throughout the year, the Parent Council helps facilitate community initiatives — from Welcoming New Parents and The Coffee Connection to family events and social gatherings that bring new and existing families together. We also support Parent Representatives by sharing information, encouraging collaboration and helping create connections across the school community.

Support our ISC families
Businesses and services run by Parent Association members. Supporting them keeps our community strong — and all funds raised from advertising go directly towards the running costs of the Parent Council and supporting our school initiatives.
Advertise your business
Paid Parent Association members can advertise their business or service here for €10 per month or €65 for the rest of the school year.
- Create your advert as one image, using the size requirements.
- Email it to the Parent Council with your business name, a website or contact link, and whether you'd like to pay monthly or for the rest of the school year.
- We'll confirm and send payment details, then your advert goes live.
Adverts are reviewed by the Parent Council before they go live, and must be suitable for a school community.
Ask the Parent Association
Have a question, an idea for an event, or something you'd like the Parent Council to raise with the school? Send it here and a Council member will get back to you. Want to join? Tell us — we'll welcome you in.

Wellbeing & support
Every child deserves to feel safe and supported. If something is worrying you or your child — bullying, exclusion, or anything affecting a student's wellbeing — there is help available. Below are trusted places to turn to, at school and beyond.
ISC has a social worker who visits weekly and is there to support students. Your child's teacher or a Parent Representative can also help point you to the right person.
For any formal concern, the school has clear procedures in place. You can read and use ISC's official Whistleblowing Policy ↗.
A free, anonymous online chat for young people, by young people (a Caritas service, available across Austria). Students can talk through worries, questions and problems with trained peers. Open the chat ↗
Austria's free, confidential helpline for children, teenagers and parents. Available 24/7, no name needed — just call 147.
The Parent Association is always happy to listen and help you find the right support. If you'd simply like to talk to us, you can reach us any time at parent-association@isc.ac.at.
