About us

From pre-school, pre-primary and primary education through to the matriculation exams, schooling allows teachers to get to know the child as a learner and, year by year, to meet their educational needs more accurately and to facilitate personality development. Therefore, it is not the child who needs to adapt to the school education system, but the education system is increasingly adapting to the changing needs of the child every year.

The school implements all state and international baccalaureate diploma programmes (in English). Teaching in bilingual education classes (Lithuanian-English) is also available. Also, according to learners’ abilities and interests, learners can choose additional curriculum developed by the Lyceum: biomedical sciences, engineering, social sciences and arts. LIONS QUEST, a social-emotional education programme, is implemented at all levels of education.

Often the learner encounters various teaching (learning) difficulties, therefore, it is very important not only to notice them in time, but also to help the learner overcome the problems. The school has an effective system of such assistance to the learner. Its activities are coordinated by department heads, programme managers, with the support of class leaders, teachers and subject matter professionals. This system of learner support helps the learner to make individual progress in teaching (learning).

The educational process at the school is organised in such a way that every learner can experience success. We adapt the teaching content and methods to respond to each learner’s abilities and personality maturity, so that those who are able to learn more can go beyond the general curriculum, and those who experience learning difficulties can learn at their own pace and reach the core level of the general curriculum through appropriately adapted teaching content and methods. We encourage each learner to become a leader in a certain field of science, art, technology or social activities as early as possible and to constantly strive for their maximum result. Such teaching (learning) ensures the child’s success, psychological well-being and self-confidence.

Early in school attempts are made to spot talented and talented children and to pay appropriate attention to their development.

 The Centre for the Development of Gifted and Talented Children develops the ability to formulate Socratic questions, organise and lead discussions, learn the secrets of oratorial art, and develop personal leadership qualities.

 Deepening of individual subjects, work according to individual programmes, targeted research activities, laboratory classes with professional teachers help such learners to achieve high academic results and win national and international Olympiads and competitions.

Today, when distance teaching (learning) is a necessity, the modernity of the educational process is determined by the integration of teaching (learning) subjects, modern teaching (learning) environment, sessions in various non-traditional spaces and properly selected innovative teaching methods. The integration of subjects is achieved through long-term project activities at different levels of education and compulsory research activities for grammar school learners.  These activities, which are usually carried out in non-traditional teaching environments, also encourage teachers to try out modern teaching methods that have been successfully applied in the classroom.

By fostering creative thinking, we aim to create the conditions for each learner to develop their own self-expression and to unleash his or her own complex of personal qualities: ingenuity, originality, productive thinking and creative imagination. Together, we teach how to target the information we have, constantly encouraging learners to act and to solve problems by finding educational innovations. Developing creative thinking involves taking initiatives and developing entrepreneurial thinking, which means the ability to translate ideas into action, creativity, innovation, risk-taking, planning and managing projects to achieve objectives.

Divergent thinking is one of the most important abilities of creative thinking. By thinking this way (with the right hemisphere of the brain), a person creates new combinations instead of choosing what has already been created. Divergent thinking is useful not only in creation, but also in life, when making decisions in various problematic situations. Divergent thinking is developed through a variety of innovative approaches, such as: association building, Osbourn’s brainstorming methodology, analogy search, hyperbolisation methodology, paradoxical integration and disintegration, heuristics of inversion, schematisation, accentuation, problem solving, highlighting the individual elements or characteristics of the object, as well as questioning the accepted truths, using the methods of role-playing, improvisation, metaphorical, paradigm games, etc.

Klaipėda Lyceum is committed to the safe and healthy education of the child, which is why the Health Enhancement Programme has been put in place since 2018. It is integrated into everyday activities of learners, starting in pre-primary education and ensuring continuity at other levels of education(s). The Health Enhancement Programme includes fitness, sea therapy, morning and corrective exercises, healthy eating, aromatherapy and music therapy, colour therapy, children’s yoga, various massages, Nordic walking, agile games in the fresh air, herbal teas, inhalations, etc. Every week, a healthcare professional conducts health lessons to children in accordance with a specially designed programme.

The school serves only fresh and varied food. We pay particular attention to product combination. Children with allergies, intolerance to certain foods, or families cherishing a different eating philosophy are offered a separate food plan.

While the school is renowned for the academic achievements of its learners, we are equally committed to the spiritual and artistic development of our learners. The SEU (social emotional education) programme is implemented in the school not for the first year, spiritual counselling services are provided, systematic attendance of cultural events, meetings with artists are organised, personal exhibitions of their artworks are exhibited, and a gallery of paintings by professional artists is created in the school. Particular attention is paid to volunteering projects and the continuity of charitable support traditions.

The school provides a modern and constantly updated educational environment that meets the highest international standards. A modern science laboratory, a new library-reading room, green school spaces, and an artistic environment motivate learners to learn, inspire them to create, and fully develop young people. Learners who are motivated and willing to learn are highly valued in the learner community. Such a community of learners strengthens the motivation of each learner’s learning and promotes high personal aspirations.

Learners are supported by a real team of teacher professionals to achieve individual learning progress. The majority of school teachers have acquired the qualification of expert teacher or methodologist teacher. The aim of the school is to bring together under one roof the best teachers seeking to continuously improve their pedagogical qualifications, focusing on the challenges facing the present school.

Klaipėda Lyceum is a full-time school. After school and even on Saturdays, it organises a wide range of extracurricular academic activities, including advanced modules in various subjects, foreign language clubs (German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian), programming, robotics, geography, history, biomedical and experimental chemistry laboratory works, debates in English, etc. Studies of artistic activities: solo singing, choir, ensembles, art, modelling, theatre, dance, readers, young writers, etc. Sports activities: mobile games, tennis, football, badminton, badminton, disc golf, basketball, etc.

The school has many years of experience in international projects. It participates in several international projects each year, during which learners visit different foreign countries, where they not only carry out various educational activities, but also get acquainted with the culture of different countries, improve their foreign language skills and expand social experience. The school exchanges learners and teachers with private schools in Finland, Sicily, France, Lyceum and England.

Clearly regulated internal procedures and uniform rules for all help create a good school climate. At school, we are all responsible for the well-being of those around us. Spreading gratitude and respect for those around you makes everyone feel good. A good school microclimate is created by traditional community events (celebration of the beginning of school year, traditional Christmas charity support project, Blue Carpet celebration) and school small community events (class birthdays, end of school year).

The school hosts various traditional events organised by the school’s learner senate: community-building events at the beginning and end of the school year, career days and nights, various volunteering and charity projects, brain battles, quizzes, competitions, theme nights, various study trips in Lithuania and abroad, international learner exchanges.
