St. Christopher's progymnasium in Vilnius stands on one of the city's busiest streets - Kalvarijų g. 87. It was formed in 2009 by reorganizing Vilnius St. Christopher's secondary school; the site also mentions receiving gymnasium status on August 8, 2011, although the institution now works as a progymnasium (grades 1-8), not a gymnasium - the site does not explain this contradiction itself. The school's name refers to Saint Christopher, the patron saint of Vilnius, shown on the city's coat of arms. The language of instruction is Lithuanian. The site has a general statement about implementing an International Baccalaureate programme to raise the quality of education, but which stage exactly (PYP, MYP) is meant is not specified, and there is no dedicated page about it on the site. Support staff named include two psychologists - Margarita Jaskoitienė and Lina Muralytė-Savickė - and social pedagogue Jolanta Naruševič, who sit on the child welfare commission. Every June the school runs a free summer camp for first-graders, 'Linksmuolė vasara' (in 2025, June 3-11), funded by Vilnius City Municipality: visits with firefighters, museums, the defensive wall's bastions, exploring the Bernardine Garden, LEGO building, creative workshops, sports contests, cinema and theatre. Additional programmes include DofE (the Duke of Edinburgh's Award) and Lions Quest.
Key facts
Languages of instruction
Lithuanian
Admissions The progymnasium admits by the territorial principle and points system used across all Vilnius municipal schools (svietimas.vilnius.lt): an application can list three schools, one of which must be the family's own catchment school. The language of instruction is Lithuanian, and this is stated directly. The site does not state a separate Lithuanian-language admission requirement or a citizenship restriction - the conditions are the same as for all Vilnius municipal schools.

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). 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.

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.
