What Vilnius lyceum does

Vilnius Lyceum is a public secondary educational institution (gymnasium) located at Širvintų g. 82 in Vilnius, Lithuania, established in 1990 and operated as an independent institution since 1992. It is a budget institution (biudžetinė įstaiga) established and funded by Vilnius City Municipality, serving approximately 400+ students across two core program streams: a four-year Lithuanian secondary education program and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), which has been authorized since 1997 and is taught entirely in English with capacity for up to 100 IB students. The lyceum supports its academic programs with digital infrastructure including an electronic gradebook (Tamo.lt), a distance learning environment (MDL), and a cloud-integrated library catalog (iMOBIS), alongside non-formal education offerings such as language clubs, robotics, debate, STEAM activities, and subject olympiad preparation groups.

The institution operates without tuition fees; its core funding flows from Vilnius City Municipality, which also covers the annual IB Diploma Programme implementation fee, while International Baccalaureate examination fees and postal expenses are paid by parents. Admissions are competitive, with entrance examinations in mathematics, physics, Lithuanian language, and history for Grade 1, and English and mathematics for IB classes, processed through the Vilnius City Municipality centralized e-system. Vilnius Lyceum supplements public funding through a charitable and support foundation that accepts donations and 1.2% personal income tax designations, and the institution has maintained the #1 ranking in Lithuania for state graduation exam results continuously since 1999, with a VBE average of 97 points and 317 perfect 100-point scores, plus 49 of 49 IB candidates receiving diplomas in 2025 with an average score of 36/45 versus the worldwide average of 30.6.
