History

The school begain in Schrutkagasse in the 13th District of Vienna (which now houses a Rudlof Steiner School). DIS began as the 'Pawen International Community School' with 9 students but by the end of the first year in June 1992 had risen to over 170 students. The school rapidly outgrew the building.

The school relocated to a building at Gudrunstrasse 184, in the 10th District, which was home to DIS for 7 years - from 1992 to 1999. It was an office building originally used as a torpedo factory during World War II.

The school then moved to an old listed building in the 2nd district beside the donaukanal (danube canal). The building was renovated and an art suite was added in the roof space.
