Admissions

Vilnius International School is a Council of International Schools accredited, nonprofit,  K-12 school serving the local Lithuanian and expatriate community of Vilnius, Lithuania. Approximately 60% of the VIS student population hold Lithuanian passports. A significant proportion of the students in this cohort are dual nationals and many are Lithuanian nationals returning from an extended stay abroad. The remaining 40% of the VIS student population are expatriate families representing local and international companies, diplomats and professionals.
 

In September 2022, VIS opened its doors to 498 students from 41 countries. We also welcomed teachers from Lithuania, United States, Ukraine, Ireland, South Africa, Lebanon, Iran, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Moldova, Australia, Finland, Russia, and China.
