About international schools in Lithuania

International schools in Lithuania form a small, concentrated sector (most are in Vilnius) that offers English-medium pathways alongside bilingual Lithuanian - English options and a handful of minority-language programmes. Curricula you will commonly find include the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), British programmes (English National Curriculum and Cambridge IGCSE/A-level routes) and US-style or other international tracks, and many schools combine an international syllabus with Lithuanian language and culture lessons. Annual tuition for Vilnius international schools most often sits in the low-to-mid five-figure euro range, though there are both lower-fee private bilingual options and some schools or grade bands with substantially higher charges; extras such as one-off admission or capital fees are common. Admissions follow the Lithuanian school calendar (the general school year starts on 1 September) and municipal application rounds for the following September typically open in early March, while many schools also handle mid-year or rolling admissions subject to capacity.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in Lithuania run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead.

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in Lithuania we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most.

FAQs for Lithuania

What international curricula are available in Lithuania and how do they differ?
You will most often encounter the International Baccalaureate (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma), British programmes (English National Curriculum and Cambridge IGCSE/A-levels) and US-style or other international tracks; some schools run bespoke or blended curricula and a few municipal schools offer Cambridge components. These programmes differ in structure and assessment - the IB emphasises an inquiry-based continuum and the DP is a two-year pre-university diploma, British/Cambridge routes use staged Key Stages and subject-based public examinations, and American-style schools tend to follow credit- and grade-based systems - so check how each aligns with the age of your child and your higher-education plans.
How much should we expect to pay for an international school in Lithuania?
Fees vary by school, age and programme, but in Vilnius most international schools cluster in roughly the €8,000 - €15,000 a year band, with some schools and specific grade levels charging significantly more and some smaller or bilingual providers charging less. In addition to annual tuition, families commonly meet application, re-registration, capital or one-off admission charges and exam fees, and schools usually publish sample total costs and instalment schedules on their websites.
When does the school year start and when should we apply?
The official school year in Lithuania begins on 1 September, so most international schools plan admissions around that academic cycle. Municipal application rounds for placements in state and some private schools normally open in early March for the following September, but international and private schools may run separate entry tests, interviews and rolling mid-year admissions, so start enquiries as early as possible.
What language support and instruction can we expect?
International schools teach primarily through English but many also offer Lithuanian lessons and bilingual programmes that maintain the Lithuanian language and meet national expectations for Lithuanian studies; some schools also provide instruction in or support for other community languages. If your child is a recent arrival, look for dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) or Lithuanian for newcomers support, and confirm how quickly the school expects students to integrate into mainstream classes.
What practical factors should families check when comparing schools in Lithuania?
Check accreditation and authorisation (IB, Cambridge, national recognitions and international school accreditation bodies), syllabus and assessment alignment with your longer-term plans, class sizes and pastoral support, language support for newcomers, published fee schedules including one-off charges, and transport or location relative to your home or workplace. Also verify how the school’s leaving qualification is recognised by universities you expect your child to apply to and whether the school runs entrance assessments or waiting lists for the relevant age group.
