Middle Years Programme
VIS is the first school in Lithuania to become an authorised IB MYP School in 2013.
The MYP inquiry is our approach to teaching and learning. We believe in inquiry that is thoughtful, purposeful, and rooted in development of conceptual understanding. We strive to bring an inquiry mindset to all we do, including to interactions with our colleagues, students, and parents. Together with students, we create inquiry questions related to the concepts being explored in our units. Process and thinking are valued as a crucial part of the learning journey.
The Middle Years Programme follows the same learning principles as our Primary Years Programme. It starts in grade 5 and concludes in grade 10 with a culminating experience called the Personal Project.
MYP subjects taught at VIS include:
English language and literature, Lithuanian language and literature or Lithuanian acquisition, integrated science, mathematics, Individuals and Societies, Spanish language, design, art, and physical education. Drama is taught in grades 6 and 7, and integrated co-curricular activities make up the grade 8 and 9 experience. In grade 10, students have an allocated lesson for personal project exploration.
