Academics

Lycée International Français de Vilnius teaches French Curriculum for students aged 1 to 18.

Curriculum

Multilingual education from 1.5 to 18 years old, integrating structure, culture, and international openness. From kindergarten to the French Baccalaureate, education follows the high standards of the French program and places multilingualism at the heart of the curriculum. The school serves 600+ students from 20+ nationalities and teaches 7 languages. Two campuses in Vilnius host preschool through lycée.

Higher Education Progression

Students prepare for higher education through the French Baccalaureate, and there is an exchange project with the University of Bordeaux IV (Law) in Vilnius for terminale students.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

LIFV emphasizes psychosocial development through initiatives like Well-Being Week to raise awareness of emotions and social skills. Workshops on emotions for CM1 and CM2 strengthen self-esteem and help students understand and manage their feelings. Psychosocial skills such as emotional regulation and empathy are central to well-being and learning. The school aims to foster a respectful, supportive school climate through activities that promote active listening, kindness, and cooperation.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

LIFV follows an inclusive approach from early years. In Nursery, vulnerabilities are identified early and addressed with Lithuanian partner services and the school's health department. The school provides targeted support for learners with difficulties or health needs; the Vie Scolaire team coordinates pupil welfare and health-related themes in collaboration with the school nurse and, where available, the psychologist.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English instruction begins at age five. The school also offers language studies in German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Lithuanian, supporting multilingual education and language development across the curriculum.

Mental Wellbeing

The Well-Being Week places psychosocial skills at the center of student development, focusing on emotional regulation, self-esteem, and peer relationships. LIFV nurses implement psychosocial skills programs to maintain a positive school climate and promote student well-being and success. The Vie Scolaire team collaborates with health staff to address pupils' health and welfare needs, reinforcing a caring school environment.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding at LIFV is integrated into pupil welfare through coordinated support from the Vie Scolaire team, the school nurse, and the psychologist. The nursery identifies vulnerabilities early and works with health services to protect and support pupils. The school adheres to data protection policies to safeguard personal information related to students and families.
