What Makes Us Special

Bilingualism from Early Days

We were the first in Lithuania to introduce early foreign language teaching, based on the world-renowned immersion method, which helps children learn a foreign language in a natural way. This approach has led to the use of English as a language of communication equal to Lithuanian in both our kindergarten and school, eventually becoming an effective learning tool and a permanent means of communication and creative expression for children.

Howard Gardner‘s Theory of Multiple Intelligences in Practice

Saulės Gojus, a private school in Vilnius, bases its educational system on Howard Gardner‘s theory of multiple intelligences, which allows us to monitor a child‘s growth in a coherent and holistic way, from pre-school to the secondary school years, to recognise a child‘s strengths early on and to provide the necessary and timely support to address their learning, behavioural or emotional challenges. Saulės Gojus was the first in Lithuania to introduce an innovative tool, the Multiple Intelligences Assessment based on Gardner‘s MI model, which helps to regularly monitor a child‘s educational development and to unveil his or her personality in a comprehensive way.

The Importance of Learning to Learn

Our school is dedicated to the development of learning to learn as a key lifelong skill: a unique self-reflection system and learning monitoring tools allow students to track their own learning process and find their learning strategies that work best for them. One of the self-reflection tools is the portfolio, a continuous assessment instrument that allows the learner to see his/her personal learning journey and to consciously identify learning successes and challenges. Integrating portfolios into the school‘s assessment system provides a possibility to employ the skills needed for strengthening the learning competence and to enable all partners in education (student, teacher and parents) to share responsibility for the child‘s future learning achievements. A dedicated time in the curriculum and a coherent mentoring programme are used to reinforce the learning to learn skill. Guided by professional educators and personal mentors, students have the opportunity to develop excellent independent learning skills that will help them to succeed in their future academic and professional careers.

Attention to Every Child

Every child is unique, which is why Saulės Gojus private school in Vilnius tailors the educational process to individual abilities and needs. Two teachers working in the pre-primary and primary classes (and personal mentors in the primary school) can give more individual attention to each child, encouraging their strengths and helping them to overcome challenges.

Primary and Secondary School

Primary School

Saulės Gojus, a private primary school in Vilnius, is a place where children not only learn to read, write and count, but also to communicate, work as a team and solve everyday problems. Primary school is the time when a child acquires his or her first learning tools and begins to discover his or her strengths. That‘s why we focus on developing independence and encouraging curiosity at this stage of education. We also want primary school classrooms to be a space where children feel safe and confident to explore the world, which is why we don‘t write grades or assign homework.

Secondary School

Here, education becomes even more focused, with a broader range of subjects and a greater emphasis on independent thinking and proactiveness. Modern teaching tools, innovative methods and dedicated teachers help students build a solid foundation of knowledge and prepare them for the next stage of their education. Our secondary school is a coherent continuation of the primary school, aiming to transform traditional teacher-centred instruction into self-directed learning. A unique system of self-directed learning, reflecting the way a student works at university, and the support of personal mentors, allows our students to follow their own learning process and find the learning strategies that suit them best. In addition to academic education, a strong focus is placed on students‘ emotional well-being and their ability to deal effectively with communication challenges.

“Saulės Gojus”: a positive, luminous and inspiring school name that perfectly reflects its atmosphere – full of trust, openness, solidarity and kindness. The quality of the teachers’ work and their professionalism and dedication are reflected in the children’s growth and achievement. We are happy to be part of this community!

Jurga, mother of Audra
We have been with Saulės Gojus for 12 years now ?
For us, it’s like a second home – a place where it’s always good to come back to. We feel a strong community bond here and we are all like one family!
What makes Saulės Gojus so attractive to us is its strong bilingualism: the children here communicate fluently in English, read books and expand their language skills effortlessly. The learning process is engaging and motivating: the children are always eager to learn, they enjoy preparing for their projects and we look forward to their presentations. It is also important to us that the food is cooked on-site, so we can have peace of mind about the children’s diet. Outdoor activities, excursions and lots of other fun activities are offered here. We are impressed by the competence, dedication and creativity of the teachers, many of whom not only educate, but also sing, play, dance and inspire the children in many ways by their example.

Two of our children attend Saulės Gojus School, which they love dearly and go to eagerly every day. The educational process is organised in such a way that the children’s engagement lasts longer than in many other schools – they finish the day no earlier than 4 pm, so that parents don’t have to worry about how they are going to spend their time after school. Plus, all the work is done at school, so there is time at home for relaxation and family. Teachers are positive and supportive partners in learning, committed to making learning fun and engaging. The focus lies not only on academic achievement, but also on developing civic and community awareness, encouraging responsibility and mutual support. It is hard to list all the advantages of Saulės Gojus!

Neringa, mother of Tadas and Nikita
Saulės Gojus educates all three children of our family. We are very happy with the strong community, the inclusiveness of the education and the extremely attentive teachers who are able to respond to even the most difficult emotions of the children. Our children are growing up here to be courageous, curious and self-confident.

Saulės Gojus Kindergarten leaves the best impressions every day. Our children leave home in the morning with excitement and come back happy and full of new experiences. We especially appreciate the teachers’ dedication, tenderness and attentiveness to each child. We feel at ease here because the children are both safe and loved. We are grateful to the whole Saulės Gojus team for their sincere work!

Kristina, mother of Ugnė and Rokas
Our children have been attending Saulės gojius for years, and every day we see them growing, improving and feeling happy. Here an environment is created where every child can express themselves, feel safe and confident in their learning journey. Teachers are not only skilled, but also genuinely caring, always ready to help and find the best solution for each child. We particularly appreciate the school’s commitment not only to academic achievement, but also to the promotion of creativity and the development of social skills. The work of educational support professionals helps each child to feel accepted and understood, which builds strong self-confidence.
But Saulės Gojus is not just a school, it is also a real community, where children, parents and teachers build relationships based on respect, understanding and cooperation. Here, children acquire both academic knowledge and a strong set of values that will last a lifetime. We are happy to be part of this community and are grateful for all that the school does for our children.
