The school overall is terrible. Staff are sexist and mostly give boys a hard time, when my child came back from his first day he said he got bullied and staff did not care. I also noticed fake reviews and copy pasted replies. Almost all of the good reviews probably came from teachers because of 5 star ratings and everything is in french.

Horrible school with a school director that is only focused on money and defending his poorly educated teachers and their useless animators. Save yourself the headache. School should be shutdown, it is awful.

Unfriendly and Very Old School Type Office. The Principal cares more about getting funds and donations than ensuring quality education.

Horrible school who allows bullying to occur without any intervention. Director of kindergarten is incredibly unprofessional. Look at reviews who talk about the badly behaved children - spot on description. FIVE star reviews without comments are from own staff.

Dear Madame, Thank you for the time you spent writing such detailed reviews of your experience at the French Lyceum of Vilnius. If a child has experienced or is going through a bullying situation, all our teams stand together and are willing to discuss it and provide the solutions. Administration and pedagogical team works together to find solutions and act quickly. We regularly put in place actions for pupils in order to make them aware of this issue. Bullying is not tolerated in our community and prohibited by the School Rules. We are sorry to hear that the way the problem was solved did not meet your expectations. We wish you to find the school that suits your child and your family the best. If you would like to discuss the concrete situation more further, please send us a private message.

Avoid at all costs. *This review comes from an international family who's child has been in schools around the world. We made the unfortunate decision to send our preschool 5 year old child to this institution thinking that it would hold well based on its international standing. HOWEVER, the school was a horrifying experience that I wish upon no family. Let it be clear that this school allows bullying and will do nothing to change this fact. In the one month that our child was at this school he came home with scratches from another kid and we were told that this has happened multiple times with the kid in question yet no measures were taken to rectify the situation with the child or his parents. Like the other reviewers have stated, the school is only interested in school fees and nothing else. The director of the kindergarten is an awful man, who just stated his position, sat before us as parents and put the blame on us and took none from his staff poor capabilities. They will talk to you about "animators" which I am still confused as to what their job is because they allowed bullying to happen in front of their eyes without intervention. Besides the gaping hole in their ethics and lack of management, the school itself is falling apart, the facilites are outdated and old, the kids have a tiny area to play in which is situated right in front of the parking lot. It's concrete and Sad. There are over 22 kids crammed in one classroom, with just two teachers. The kids are incredibly badly behaved, as previous reviewers have mentioned. I wish I had listened to the reviews before making the mistake of sending my school here. I would rather homeschool my child than ever send him to this unsafe environment. There are much better schools out there, avoid avoid avoid.
