This year, according to data from the National Agency for Education, the LSMU Gymnasium is among the top five selective gymnasiums in the country. Previously, the magazine <em>Reitingai<\/em> described LSMU Gymnasium as having made perhaps the greatest progress and breakthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year marks a significant change for the gymnasium. On 1 September, it will officially adopt an all-through school model. This means that starting autumn, the school will offer educational programmes at all levels \u2013 pre-primary, primary, lower secondary and upper secondary. The Primary School, which until now functioned as a branch, is being integrated into the overall structure of the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the headteacher of LSMU Gymnasium, Ar\u016bnas Bu\u010dnys, the reform \u2013 already approved by the LSMU Council \u2013 aims to ensure a coherent and effective development of education and related services from pre-primary to upper secondary level, with a strong focus on continuity and consistency in the learning process, support for pupils and teachers, and non-formal education for children.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis structural change will not affect the teaching process or the pupils. The school\u2019s management will become more centralised, but nothing else will change \u2013 all the best we have will remain,\u201d \u2013 assured the headmaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maintaining High Standards: Selection Will Remain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gymnasium is determined to maintain its high-quality education and aims to remain among the top 2% of Lithuanian schools based on national examination results. As such, it has no plans to abandon its entrance tests for Year 5 and Year 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur educational system at the Gymnasium as a whole encourages pupils to study well and strive for excellent results. Therefore, even the youngest pupils, after four years in primary school, will have to take an entrance test to progress to lower secondary education,\u201d \u2013 emphasised the headmaster of the LSMU Gymnasium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/LSMU-gimnazija-3-1024x501.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111465\" style=\"width:1201px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-3-1024x501.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-3-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-3.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-3-300x147@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From September, primary pupils will also have access to the comprehensive academic support system already in place at the gymnasium, which helps pupils achieve progress and reach the best results that reflect their abilities. According to the school\u2019s curriculum plan, if a pupil\u2019s performance drops below a mark of 7 (satisfactory), an individual \u201cPupil Performance Improvement Plan\u201d is drawn up involving the teacher, pupil, parents, and support staff. The aim is to encourage pupils to take responsibility for their own learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Comprehensive Education to Raise Strong Individuals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High academic achievement, excellent results in school Olympiads and competitions, and meaningful leisure activities all contribute to the development of well-rounded young people who, after receiving their school-leaving certificates, are readily admitted to state-funded places in the most popular study programmes in medicine, dentistry, law, and economics.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/LSMU-gimnazija-2-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111466\" style=\"width:666px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-2-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-2-300x200@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe haven\u2019t focused solely on academic performance \u2013 we aim to educate the whole person,\u201d \u2013 stressed headmaster A. Bu\u010dnys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over recent years, the Gymnasium has produced perhaps the highest number of final research projects in the country. Students have set up their own junior enterprises, take part in European young scientist competitions, and engage in a variety of extracurricular activities. Pupils are enthusiastic participants in national song festivals and have formed several rock bands. Young photographers, artists, writers, and performers of literary recitations stand out in competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LSMU Gymnasium is the most Francophone school in Lithuania \u2013 French is the second foreign language taught, and four native French-speaking teachers deliver the lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">External evaluations carried out regularly have revealed another strength of the LSMU Gymnasium \u2013 excellent relationships between teachers and pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Graduates Stand Out for Their Consistent Academic Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The status of a university-affiliated school is unique thanks to the significant financial and intellectual investment from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. Various educational events, access to University facilities, and opportunities to gain first-hand experience of academic life and research provide a major advantage for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 37% of LSMU Gymnasium graduates have chosen to study at LSMU. The very first graduates are now completing their residency training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, Professor K\u0119stutis Petrikonis, LSMU Vice-Rector for Studies, emphasised that there is no intention to guide pupils exclusively towards health sciences or to study specifically at LSMU. The Gymnasium serves as an incubator that helps students progress and develop freely in a learning-friendly environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGraduates of LSMU Gymnasium are ambassadors of the University\u2019s ethos in society \u2013 they stand out for their strong abilities to work and study consistently,\u201d \u2013 the Vice-Rector observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the University also serves as a powerful intellectual, scientific, community and financial support for the Gymnasium \u2013 a respected authority that provides guidance, expert opinions and inspiring role models when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The University Gymnasium is not exclusive to the LSMU community only. Currently, around 30% of pupils are children of LSMU staff, while others come from the city of Kaunas and the surrounding districts of Kaunas, Kai\u0161iadorys and \u0160akiai. The commitment to openness and educational quality has led to the development of a successful recent initiative \u2013 the Virtual LSMU School, which has had a major impact on regional areas. Currently, 74 pupils from 29 municipalities are enrolled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c The Virtual LSMU School gives children in Lithuanian regions the opportunity to study biology, chemistry and mathematics within the University and gymnasium framework. It\u2019s a strong educational experience that fosters an interest in health sciences, as well as skills in consistent study, discipline and teamwork,\u201d \u2013 noted the Vice-Rector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This continuity \u2013 from pre-primary and primary to general education and university studies \u2013 is also built on LSMU\u2019s core values: knowledge, skills and everything learned at school are viewed as true assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor K. Petrikonis is convinced that LSMU Gymnasium\u2019s rapid rise to the top five Lithuanian schools and the highly successful launch of the Virtual School prove that this educational model works.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"599\" data-id=\"111468\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/LSMU-gimnazija-6-1024x599.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-6-1024x599.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-6-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-6.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-6-300x176@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1002\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"111470\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/LSMU-gimnazija-5-1002x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-5-1002x1024.jpg 1002w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-5-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-5-1503x1536.jpg 1503w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-5-390x400.jpg 390w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-5.jpg 1601w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-5-294x300@2x.jpg 588w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"111472\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/LSMU-gimnazija-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-4.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/LSMU-gimnazija-4-300x225@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Lithuania, a university-affiliated gymnasium is first and foremost a synonym for high-quality education and is distinguished by its close ties with the academic world.
