Royal Russell School Vilnius — a new chapter in Baltic education, inspired by tradition, focused on innovation, and committed to your child’s success.
Boarding houses become a home away from home for our pupils in the term time. Each house provides the spece to study, relax, and enjoy being with friends. Being a part of a house fosters a sense of community, helps to build solid friendships and encourages friendly competition.
We have four new, state-of-the-art boarding houses; these are led by an incredible team of housemasters and housemistresses who are devoted to the children in their care. In addition, senior pupils and staff members fulfil a unique role in creating our family atmosphere that develops Russellians into happy, positive and thriving community members.
At Royal Russell Vilnius, we adopt boarding principles based on those of Royal Russell London: respect for all, strong pastoral care, meaningful rituals of daily life, and mutual responsibility within the house community. Our boarding environment is inclusive, welcoming students from diverse cultures, fostering independence, leadership, and lifelong friendships.
Weekend life is rich—with co‑curricular events, trips and activities that reflect both local heritage and global perspectives. Study and leisure are balanced through dedicated structures and planned social programmes.
