Students from grades 8 – 10 have requested a special evening to add some energy to the winter calm. They can save the date for a winter formal.
Grade 7 and grade 8 students will be introduced to an opportunity to apply for a trip to Odense, Denmark in June. The focus of the mobilisation will be myths, legends and fairytales. Fifteen students from the two grades will be selected for the trip. Ms. Živilė and the Lithuanian team will share more information directly with grade 7 and 8 students.
Grade 10 parents will receive an email from Ms. Asta asking to submit a first indication of their child’s chosen Cambridge subjects for Grades 11 &12. Selected subjects can be adjusted and finalised later, based on class availability. The decision to reenrol for the AS/A programme will be based on prior performance at VIS. In order to confirm your place, an advance payment will be required. More information will be shared directly with grade 10 families in January.

Students can start the Winter Break early. Teachers will be participating in professional development workshops.
We will take a break to celebrate Lithuania’s Independence on the 16th, and conserve energy needed for the last stretch of the winter months. Classes resume on Monday, February 23rd.
Grade 11 and 12 students will take simulated mock exams in preparation for real exams coming up later in the year.
School holidays at Vilnius International School provide students with time to rest, recharge, and explore new interests. That said, we expect families to respect our school calendar and plan vacations accordingly. VIS has a rather short school year compared to international schools globally, please do not plan to withdraw students early for summer camps. Demonstrate that you take learning seriously by being our partners.
After-school activities at Vilnius International School offer students a chance to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build lasting friendships. From sports and arts to leadership programs and community service, there’s something for everyone.
These activities encourage creativity, teamwork, and personal growth in a fun and supportive environment. Students can discover new passions while gaining valuable experiences beyond the classroom.
