From Cobblestone Streets to Global Perspectives
Vilnius International School is host to over 500 students. We converge with our Lithuanian friends and colleagues to create a learning community tucked away in a quiet corner of Vilnius Old Town, but alert to the active vibe of this forward thinking city.
The student population hails from over 40 countries. Approximately
60% hold Lithuanian passports. A significant proportion of the
students in this cohort are dual citizens. Others are from expatriate families representing
business professionals, diplomats and NGOs, most of whom are
originally from European countries.
