About the fees Fees are paid monthly, in ten instalments a year: primary school (grades 0 to 4) 905 a month, middle school (grades 5 to 8) 960, the Vilnius gymnasium (grades 9 to 12) 1020 (in Kaunas the gymnasium runs only through grade 10, also at 960). The annual total is this figure times ten, from 9050 to 10200. Separately, a one-time enrollment fee applies: 450 for primary school, 510 for middle school and the gymnasium. Extended day care, meals, transport, uniforms and Cambridge exams are billed separately.
Admissions The school states no explicit citizenship restriction. Admission to the International Baccalaureate programme (grades 11 to 12) requires English at B2 level or above, though the school says it considers individual circumstances. Admission proceeds through a consultation with a coordinator, a school presentation for the family, and readiness testing for the child, followed by signing an education contract.
Stages and year groups The base is the Lithuanian national curriculum, with the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) layered on top.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: PYP (ages 3-12), MYP (ages 11-16), DP (ages 16-19). PYP is the primary stage, ages 3 to 12. It is not a set of subjects but a frame for the whole school: learning is built around lines of inquiry, and there are no exams at the end. MYP is the middle stage, ages 11 to 16. There are no exams here either; at the end an optional electronic assessment of pupils' work is possible. DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.

Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.

Summer camp: the school runs its own camp; whether it takes children from outside is not stated on the website

Safety and wellbeing from the school's official website

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
