School life
We strive to create an environment that supports the learning, personal growth, wellbeing and safety of all members of the school community.
The school calendar keeps you updated on important events and is updated regularly. Also see the weekly newsletter to enrolled families.
A heartfelt thanks to the representatives from grades 6 & 7 for collaborating and organising our upcoming Spirit Week.
NOTE: Thursday the 18th is the PYP Dance Party – PYP students will stick to their book character costumes.
We all deserve a night out with a cup of cheer after weeks of grey skies. Let’s get together at Augustas & Barbora Love Story Lounge on Didžioji g. 27. Last time we had as many as 50 people show up.
Lithuanian author, Jurga Vilė, will read an extract from her latest book and lead a cozy chat in English with our Dolphin and Penguin classes.
The annual transdiscinary unit between art and P.E. will culminate with a nod to the art of jump rope, where the physical and rhythmic routines meet the artistic and visual representation of movement. The P.E. motions and art creations are designed to demonstrate elements of the culture students have chosen to explore.
Grades 1-5 students and parents – put on your dancing shoes and ready your costumes! VIS will be hosting a book character dance party with children’s literature authors and DJs, Tomas Dirgėla and Justinas Žilinskas, otherwise known as Knygų vaikai. Grade 1-3 will start the party at 14.00 and grades 4 and 5 from 15.15.
Select your favorite book character and get creative on your costume. We’ll dance out 2025!
CF GYM
14.00, 15.15
Grades 6 and 7 will have a disco from 16.15 to 17.15 in the CF gym. There is a planning committee that represents all three classes. Please help us encourage maximum participation.
Grades 8 – 10 will spend an afternoon at Paupio Pasaka movie theatre enjoying a special treat of Lithuanian made cinema before their holiday break.
13:00-14:55
Students can rest and recharge; they return to classes on Monday, January 5th,
Pass it along – VIS alumni can gather in the Cookie Factory for pizza and conversation. Alumni are encouraged to participate in making this event happen. Contact Ms. Neringa if you know someone interested in organizing the event: neringa.sakiniene@
17:30
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 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.
Get ready to capture those beautiful smiles! Detailed schedules will be announced in the new 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.
Please note that breakfast and afternoon snacks are provided to Early Childhood learners only, while lunch is provided to all VIS students.
