Distinctiveness of Education<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Accredited Cambridge International School<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

KD International School is accredited Cambridge school<\/strong>, part of a global educational community uniting more than 10,000 schools around the world.
\nWe work closely with international education experts, integrate advanced educational programs, implement bilingual practices, develop assessment systems, improve teacher competencies, equip modern educational spaces, and share good practices with other Cambridge schools.
\nThe school integrates the Cambridge curriculum with the Lithuanian general education standards. There are also international classes, where all education is conducted exclusively in English.\u00a0in English.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We teach to learn<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

The axis of our teaching philosophy is not the transfer of knowledge, but learning to learn.<\/strong>
\nWe encourage children to:
\n\u2022 Raise questions
\n\u2022 Think critically
\n\u2022 Solve problems
\n\u2022 Arguing for your choices
\nThe goal of education is to raise an independent, proactive, world-building person who is able to act responsibly, creatively, and purposefully in a conscious society.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Learning through playing<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Games are very important and necessary for all children, so at KD International School we learn through play. We believe that learning the elements of thinking through play is easier than during a lesson. Through play, we develop a more complex form of thinking \u2013 abstract thinking. Children learn to connect symbols (e.g. letters mean the alphabet to them), see their new meanings and thus learn to look at the situation from different angles.<\/p>\n

Through play, we learn about cooperation, teamwork, communication, leadership, conflict resolution, engineering, creativity, responsibility, and many other life skills. We learn by playing and we learn by playing. Therefore, at KD International School, we give children more time and opportunities to immerse themselves in real play and experience more diverse learning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

International community<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Our community is very diverse - both families and educators come from all corners of the world, different races and religions, so everyone at KD International School is welcome and loved. We are united by common values, aspirations and goals, language, and traditions and internal culture are reflected in the KD International School school uniform, worn by our youngest students to the administration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Contextual Education<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

We believe, that child\u2018s wish and motivation for learning comes from the child himself, who must take responsibility for their educational process, when simultaneously professional educators who are paying attention to child\u2018s abilities, and purposefully created educational environment and contextual education, encourage child\u2018s curiosity, understanding of a topic from different perspectives. When the child starts to explore a certain topic in time of all subjects, it automatically becomes more interesting for them, child raises questions, willingly takes upon an activity. For instance, during the space education week children are learning about it through exploration of the world, improves mathematical skills, counting space bodies, comparing sizes and weights, their rotation trajectory, they improve their speech development by reading\/looking through books about space, sensory abilities, creativity is educated by arts in the classroom, they pretend to be astronauts and finish some tasks (problem solving) by changing into talking astronaut costumes in the drama centre, etc.
The teacher at KD International School is like a guide, catalyst and navigator, helping the child to constantly improve, therefore our education system is flexible, adapting to the needs, interests, their and the context of the environment. The child is at the center of the educational process at KD International School. Part of contextual education is individualization and differentiation. A child learns when new information is meaningful to the child, teachers take into account each child's age, abilities, experience, ability to concentrate, family situation, needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Time<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

In our educational institution, children have all the time in the world to devote to their hobbies and interests. They have time to play, socialize, think or just be with themselves. The most important thing is that children have time to learn to learn. The ability to manage their time creates an environment for children to learn to solve problems, refine them, communicate and cooperate with the environment around them and develop, deepen and practice their skills, abilities and knowledge. We believe that if a person knows how to study effectively, he can achieve anything he wants. A purposefully created educational environment gives children opportunities to discover what they themselves want, what is interesting and relevant to them at the time, so that they can become lifelong learners.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Lithuanian education lessons<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Lithuanian language classes for children of non-Lithuanian or Lithuanian families living abroad began at KD International School in mid-September. Lithuanian language classes are dedicated to learning the Lithuanian language, starting from basic words and phrases to more complex grammar rules. Interactive tools and games are used in the classes to interest and motivate children to learn the language. Teaching tools are selected to be rich in visual context and adapted to non-Lithuanian students. Learning is not only through playing, but also through singing in order to strengthen phonetic sound recognition and auditory memory. During these classes, students are also helped to understand the educational material that is being studied in the classroom with the main teacher, because in small groups more attention can be paid to each student.<\/p>\n

We learn to read, write and speak Lithuanian with the help of cards, posters, exercises and games. The lessons are also a great opportunity for students to share their cultural experiences and traditions, promoting intercultural dialogue.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
