Currently including around 15 per cent of international staff and 20 per cent of pupils with international backgrounds, we are an ambitious school that looks to grow into the first international school in the Kaunas region in the next few years, currently going through exciting and major transformations.
As a small and new school, internal communication is non-hierarchical and relationships between colleagues are supportive. With four major staff outing events and three staff training during the shorter term breaks, members of staff are highly involved in every process of the shaping of school life- from the revision of educational philosophy, to create applications based on both local and international curriculum, and the brainstorming and implementation of new ideas etc. All teachers are members of at least on Work Group in various developmental processes, and therefore are also highly encouraged and supported for professional developments and further studies.

1. Induction and Team building at the Traikai Resort (Aug 2018);
