Introduction

AISV offers a curriculum similar to that of the best U.S. public schools. English is the language of instruction. The curriculum is American, modified where possible to provide an international perspective. Since most students attend AISV for only a few years, the curriculum permits a smooth academic transition to and from AISV. The curriculum is enriched by taking full advantage of opportunities that the school’s location in Lithuania has to offer.

The AISV elementary curriculum stresses the importance of educating the whole child. The focus of instruction is mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts. In addition to core academic subjects taught by the homeroom teacher, the student in Lower School starting with kindergarten receive instruction from specialist teachers in physical education, art, library, physical education, computers, music and Lithuanian language and culture (as of Grade 1). As of Grade 4, students who not require ESL instruction are offered French or the German as a foreign language.
