PORTRAITS

SABRINA KADLECEK — COORDINATOR OF AUSTRIAN TEACHING IN SECONDARY CLASSES

Sab­ri­na Kadle­cek is the coor­di­na­tor of the Aus­tri­an cur­ricu­lum for mid­dle and high school class­es at the LFV for the Vien­na Bil­dungs­di­rek­tion (Edu­ca­tion Author­i­ty), as part of the Fran­­­co-Aus­tri­an cul­tur­al agreements.

She leads a team of 21 teach­ers of Ger­man as a moth­er tongue, Aus­tri­an his­to­ry and geog­ra­phy, and reli­gion, and ensures con­ti­nu­ity in the prepa­ra­tion of Matu­ra exams with the LFV’s exam depart­ment. A qual­i­fied teacher of French and Ger­man with a degree from an Aus­tri­an high­er edu­ca­tion uni­ver­si­ty, Sab­ri­na Kadle­cek also taught in Stras­bourg for sev­er­al years. She now car­ries on her work teach­ing Ger­man as a moth­er tongue here with us. 

Sab­ri­na Kadle­cek believes that her role, and more broad­ly that of her team, is of course to impart knowl­edge and skills, but also to help devel­op enthu­si­asm, cre­ativ­i­ty, empa­thy and sol­i­dar­i­ty among stu­dents. These are val­ues that are par­tic­u­lar­ly impor­tant to her in her dai­ly work. 

YANN KIEFFER — LFV DEPUTY HEAD

Arriv­ing at the start of the school year in Sep­tem­ber 2025, Yann Kief­fer has been appoint­ed deputy
Head along­side Sophie Maraux, Head of the Lycée Français de Vienne. He is specif­i­cal­ly respon­si­ble for the mid­dle school and high school. Teach­ing is his pri­ma­ry pro­fes­sion, and mul­ti­cul­tur­al­ism has been a recur­ring thread through­out his career. He has trav­eled to the ends of the earth as a teacher train­er with­in the AEFE net­work. Return­ing to France after sev­er­al years in exec­u­tive posi­tions, he chose the ele­gant city of Vien­na, with its cul­ture, his­to­ry, and Lycée Français, as the set­ting for a new chap­ter in his pro­fes­sion­al life. 

Con­tribut­ing to the every­day life of the Lycée Français de Vienne, at the heart of its orga­ni­za­tion and for the ben­e­fit of edu­ca­tion­al excel­lence, is a source of great pride for Yann Kief­fer, whose pri­ma­ry focus is the well-being, ful­fill­ment, and suc­cess of all students.

Trained in Pau and Paris at the very high­est lev­el of French gas­tron­o­my, Stéphane has prac­tised his art for inter­na­tion­al­ly renowned Parisian restau­rants. He joined the LFV team in 2005 to work with chil­dren, fol­low­ing a sta­tion in the Vien­nese gas­tro­nom­ic land­scape and at the Aus­tri­an Par­lia­ment as Head of Cater­ing. He runs his kitchen like an orches­tra direc­tor, with exact­ing stan­dards and metic­u­lous atten­tion to detail, and a con­stant con­cern for impec­ca­ble qual­i­ty, serv­ing some 2,000 dish­es every day.

Its mot­to: “We are also France’s ambas­sadors abroad”.
