About international schools in Kaunas, Lithuania

Kaunas’s international-school scene is small but varied: alongside the city’s Lithuanian municipal schools you will find bilingual streams and a handful of private schools that run international curricula such as the International Baccalaureate and Cambridge-style programmes. English is the most common language of instruction in private international tracks, while many public and municipal schools offer bilingual Lithuanian - English or Lithuanian - Russian groups; outside these streams the everyday medium remains Lithuanian. Expect private international tuition to be charged as an annual fee (commonly in the mid-thousands of euros per year for IB or other international programmes), while municipal and state schools are publicly funded for residents. Admissions are shaped around the Lithuanian school year (autumn entry) but each international or private provider will set its own application deadlines, entry assessments and one-off enrolment charges, so relocating families should confirm dates and vacancies with schools well before the intended start term.

FAQs for Lithuania

What kinds of curricula do Kaunas international schools offer and how do they differ?
Schools in Kaunas may offer the national Lithuanian curriculum, bilingual national/international tracks, or internationally recognised programmes such as the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge-style courses. National programmes lead to Lithuanian qualifications and are taught largely in Lithuanian, while IB and Cambridge routes use English (or bilingual delivery) and focus on internationally transferable assessment models and university preparation.
How much should I expect to pay for an international or private school in Kaunas?
Private international schools in Kaunas typically charge annual tuition in the mid-thousands of euros, with some IB and private bilingual providers commonly asking several thousand euros per year; specific fees vary by school, year group and extra services. Public municipal schools are publicly funded for residents, but parents should budget separately for extras such as school meals, transport, uniforms, extracurricular activities and one-off enrolment or capital fees that some private schools charge.
When should we apply and what is the admissions rhythm?
The school year in Lithuania begins in September, so most international providers and municipal schools plan new intakes for autumn; many private schools operate an earlier application window or rolling admissions and may hold entrance assessments or interviews. Families relocating should contact preferred schools as early as possible - several months before the move - to check application deadlines, testing requirements and any waiting lists.
What languages of instruction and language support can we expect?
English is the primary medium in most private international and IB streams, while municipal schools normally teach in Lithuanian and may offer bilingual groups (Lithuanian - English or Lithuanian - Russian) or additional language classes. International schools and bilingual streams commonly provide Lithuanian as a second language and targeted English support for non-native speakers; ask schools about newcomer or EAL (English as an additional language) provision before enrolling.
How do age ranges and school stages map to the Lithuanian system?
Schools in Kaunas typically cover the familiar early years, primary and secondary stages, with municipal naming as primary, basic and gymnasium levels; international schools align these stages to the IB/Cambridge age bands or to national grade levels. If you plan university entry elsewhere, check how the school’s upper-secondary qualification (for example an IB Diploma or a Lithuanian gymnasium diploma) is recognised by your target universities.
What should a relocating family look for when comparing international schools in Kaunas?
Look for the curriculum and language match to your family’s needs, evidence of accreditation or recognised international programmes, the school’s approach to language support for newcomers and practical matters such as class size, transport, school day hours and extracurricular options. Also check published fee schedules and refund/withdrawal policies, inspection or accreditation status, and speak with admissions about transition support and how the school helps pupils settle into a new country and system.
