Mission Vision & Values

MISSION

AISV connects people and ideas through meaningful relationships within the school, our greater community, and the world. Even though we are growing, AISV strives to be the small school with a big heart. We make connections with people in school, in Vilnius, Lithuania and in our regional and global communities. We do this in daily interactions, co-and extracurricular activities and sports competitions. We also make connections with knowledge, values,  ideas, and beliefs in and outside of our classes. 

AISV inspires through a learning environment and educational programs where individuals are given choice to nurture their curiosity and extend their interests. At AISV, learning is about feeling comfortable and supported so that students have the opportunity to explore new ideas, discover their passions and meet their personal potential. 

AISV empowers community members to cultivate their strengths, advocate for themselves, and pursue their passions to make a positive difference in the world around them. We expect that our students are active learners, who participate enthusiastically, take responsibility, accept challenges and demonstrate perseverance.

VISION

As global citizens, we are prepared to realize our personal potential, pursue our passions, and positively impact our ever-changing and interconnected world.
