- There is no application fee charged by the school for admission. Applications to Vilnius municipal schools are submitted through the municipal electronic admissions system.

Tuition fees (by year group / term / annual)

- There is no tuition charged for regular full-time study at Vilnius Pavilnys Progymnasium. The institution is a Vilnius city municipality budgetary (public) school; formal primary and basic education are publicly funded and no annual or term tuition is levied on enrolled students.

Maitinimas (School meals) — fees by year group and per day

- Meal charges are applied for meals provided at school and are set by Vilnius City (municipal) rules. Daily per-pupil meal product-cost amounts (including taxes) are set as follows:
- Pupils in 1–4 grades (priešmokykliniai and 1–4 klasės):

- 1–4 grades: EUR 6.20 per day;
- 5–12 grades: EUR 6.90 per day.

- The school identifies the contracted meal provider and provides contact details for ordering and billing questions; the current provider listed for the 2025–2026 period is a contracted catering company (contact details listed by the school).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Meal charges are collected monthly: the collected charge covers the previous month and must be paid by the 20th day of the following month. Skolos (outstanding amounts) are recorded and recovered according to Lithuanian law.

- Meals are charged only for days the pupil actually attended; parents pay for attended days (no automatic daily justification credit). Special reductions (50%) are available in specified medical or disability cases when required documentation is provided.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- The progymnasium does not operate as a boarding (full-time residential) institution in regular primary/basic provision; no boarding/tuition-for-dormitory fee schedule is published for this school. (Meal product-cost values for pupils living in dormitories are listed in municipal meal rules for institutions that do operate dormitories; those amounts apply only where a dormitory arrangement exists.)

Other costs and fees

- Uniforms / school clothing: A recommended unified school dress style is in place and the school's uniform provision is handled through a supplier (UAB Elva). Individual uniform items have published retail prices with the supplier; examples of prices (inclusive of VAT) from the supplier's product listings include:
- Bomber jacket with emblem: approximately EUR 54.00–68.00.
- Zip-up sweatshirt variants: EUR 35.00–39.00 depending on model.
- Polo shirts: EUR 16.00–18.00.
- Skirts / sarafans / trousers: ranges shown (e.g., skirt EUR 28.00–34.00; sarafan EUR 39.00–45.00).

- Textbooks / learning materials: Required textbook lists are published by the school for each school year; the cost of textbooks and workbooks is borne by parents. The school publishes lists of textbooks purchased in previous years.

- Non-formal (extracurricular) activities and clubs: The school operates non-formal education programmes (būreliai) for different year groups; participation fees for particular clubs or projects are set per activity and per term and are not listed as a single school-wide tuition. Parents should expect activity-specific fees where an external provider, materials or extra resources are required. Schedules for 1–4 and for 5–8 classes are published.

- School trips, materials for certain subjects (e.g., technology, arts), special events, competition entry fees or project participation costs may be charged separately on an as-required basis; these are not part of a school tuition schedule and are determined per event or program.

Refund information

- Meal billing is based on attended days; because meals are charged only for days attended, there is no routine pre-paid daily charge that requires a standard refund for missed days — payment is adjusted by attendance. Documented medical or special-needs cases may receive fee reductions per municipal rules (for example, 50% reduction where criteria are met).

- For uniform purchases, refunds and returns follow the supplier's commercial terms (uniform items are sold through the contracted supplier and their retail/return policy applies). Example supplier details and purchase points are provided by the school.

Fee payment options

- Meal payments are collected monthly by the school or by the body designated to administer school meal accounting; payments for the previous month must be made by the 20th of the following month. Specific payment instructions (bank account number, transfer reference or on-site payment arrangements) are managed by the school or the contracted meal provider and are provided to parents through school communications. Contact details for the school meal organiser and the catering company are published.

- Uniform purchases from the listed supplier are handled through the supplier's retail channels (online shop and physical stores) under normal retail payment methods offered by that supplier. Individual schools do not process uniform retail transactions themselves.

Brief note on items not published as fixed fees

- The school does not publish any application or tuition charges (education is publicly funded). Specific fees for extracurricular clubs, special projects, field trips and required subject materials are variable, set per activity or event, and are not published as a single consolidated annual tuition; in such cases the school issues activity-specific information when those costs apply.

Summary of key cited facts

- No application fee; admissions via municipal system.
- No tuition charged for regular enrolled pupils (public, municipality-funded school).
- Meal product-cost rates by pupil group (breakfast/lunch/pavakarė/vakare) as set by Vilnius municipal rules. Monthly billing, payable by the 20th of the following month; meals charged only for attended days; reductions for qualifying medical/social circumstances.
- Uniform item retail prices are available via the contracted supplier's listings (examples cited).

Gaps / additional notes (concise):

- The school publishes required textbook lists and non-formal programme schedules but does not show consolidated published prices for extracurricular activities or a single school-wide materials fee; those amounts are determined per activity or supplier. Specific payment channels (exact bank account number or card payment link for meal payments) are not published in the municipal meal rules document and are normally provided directly by the school or the contracted catering supplier to parents.
Academics

Vilnius Pavilnys Progymnasium teaches Cambridge (Primary), Cambridge (Secondary).

Curriculum
The school provides Pradinis ugdymas (primary education) and Pagrindinis ugdymas (basic education) as part of Lithuania's general education system. It is a Cambridge International School and has the right to deliver Cambridge Primary education programs, covering grades 1–6. Since September 1, 2024, Cambridge Primary non-formal programs in mathematics and science have been implemented in grades 1, 2 and 5 alongside the national curricula, with grades 1–2 receiving one additional weekly hour and grade 5 receiving an additional hour for mathematics. Because Cambridge programs will gradually be taught in English, all Cambridge-program classes will receive an additional English-language lesson. The school became a Cambridge International School on August 12, 2024, with plans to implement Cambridge Lower Secondary later. Cambridge programs are internationally recognized, used in about 160 countries and by roughly 10,000 schools.

Exam Results
Assessment uses a four-level scale: Threshold level (34–44 percent) not meeting expectations; Satisfactory level (45–64 percent); Basic level (65–84 percent); Higher level (85–100 percent). Assessments include control work (tests), independent work, project work, creative tasks, and practical-empirical tasks. The number of assessments per subject depends on the weekly hours allocated to that subject, and results are recorded to monitor progress and determine progression to the next grade. The assessment framework also covers students with special educational needs and outlines criteria for reporting progress and advancement.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Inclusive education provides quality education for every student, linked to personalized learning that matches each child's abilities and ensures success and personal progress. It takes into account students' social, cultural, and learning diversity and uses actions to identify and remove barriers to learning and to participation in education. The school community and social environment support learners' social and emotional development and contribute to a positive school climate. The teacher is responsible for each student's learning and works to ensure access to learning for all students. Every student can learn and achieve results that reflect their abilities.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school uses inclusive education with a focus on meeting each pupil's needs. The Child Welfare Committee coordinates the assessment and support for pupils with special educational needs, with parental consent. If needed, the committee refers pupils to educational psychology or other education support services for assessment and provision of support. The committee organizes teaching adjustments, accommodations, and other support measures tailored to individual pupils. It coordinates the provision of educational programs and supports, and collaborates with parents and teachers to implement them. When required, the committee arranges the transition to other educational establishments and monitors ongoing needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school is an international Cambridge School and has Cambridge Primary and lower-secondary programs. Cambridge Primary includes English language instruction, including English as a Second Language. Because Cambridge programs will be taught in English, all Cambridge-program classes receive additional English language instruction. From 2024, 1st–2nd grades have one extra English lesson per week and 5th grade has an additional English lesson to support language learning.

Mental Wellbeing
The school provides access to psychological and emotional support for students and families. The Child Welfare Committee includes a psychologist and a speech therapist among its members. The school lists internal and external mental health resources and contact options for students and parents. External crisis resources include Jaunimo linija, Vaikų linija, Vilties linija, and other services, with available hours. There are crisis support services and emergency contacts listed for immediate help.

Safeguarding
The school has a Child Welfare Committee responsible for safeguarding and student wellbeing. The committee analyzes the learning environment for safety, fosters a positive school climate, and coordinates prevention and intervention measures, making recommendations to school leadership on safeguarding. It organizes education on children's rights and safeguarding, and coordinates the provision of appropriate educational programs and accommodations for pupils with special needs. It liaises with parents, teachers, and external authorities to ensure safe and inclusive learning, and coordinates crisis management and reintegration into education after emergencies.
