Our Mission Is To Be A World Leading School
The British School of Vilnius is the first choice for families seeking an English National Curriculum education complete with its ethos and values. The school is the first in Vilnius to offer this curriculum and is located in a stunning new campus on the outskirts of the city and the school offers the local and surrounding communities the opportunity to benefit from a quality British education.
BSV is a truly British international school in every sense. With a committed and inspirational team of teaching professionals at its heart, BSV is relentless in its pursuit for excellence. As a school we are unashamedly ambitious with the education we provide, ensuring our children thrive not just academically, but also personally and socially. Every child who attends our school is uniquely special to us. We endeavour to instil, not only a love for learning, but the values and experiences that will remain with them throughout their lives.
The school has been designed to hold approximately 350 pupils and will eventually cater for children from the age of 2 years old (Pre-Nursery), through to 18 years old (Year 13). It currently offers places to children between the ages of 2 and 16 years old. As these pupils progress through their academic journey, the school will expand to cater for pupils up to 18 years old.
AT BSV our pupils study in the English National Curriculum which is renowned globally as being the gold star of educational systems. Pupils learn through hands-on practical experiences that aim to enrich the whole child’s growth.
