A LEGACY OF LEARNING | 30 YEARS OF INSPIRING STUDENTS

Our story began in 1993 when we opened our doors as a small school with just two students. Since then, we've grown into a vibrant international community and the oldest international school in Vilnius, now spanning two unique campuses: our state-of-the-art Lower School, nestled in a serene botanical reserve, and our Upper School, located in the historic heart of Vilnius’ Old Town. Together, we are one school, united in our mission to inspire students from around the globe.
