Vilnius Gediminas Technical University

The school was established in 1963. In 1993, the school was renamed Mikalojus Daukša. On September 1, 2015, it became Vilnius Engineering Lyceum, and on September 1, 2016, it was renamed Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Engineering Lyceum. The Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Engineering Lyceum is a public school that simultaneously implements two educational programs: general education and engineering education. The school has 1,479 students and 110 teachers. Since 2011, the Lyceum has been providing in-depth education in technology, science, and mathematics. Students start engineering education in the 1st grade and begin design education in the 9th grade. The engineering framework program is integrated into all subjects. Students aged 15-19 attend Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, where they conduct various studies, such as physics, biology, chemistry lab work, mechanics, design, and media, alongside university students and professors. In 2014, the Lyceum established the first Confucius Classroom in Lithuania, where students learn Chinese language and culture. The Lyceum is a member of the PASCH network of schools, offering students the opportunity to take the DSD German language exam.

The Lyceum collaborates and actively works with social partners: Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Goethe Institute, Vilnius University, Education Development Center, Robotics Academy, and others. By collaborating with social partners, the school community continuously develops to provide higher quality education, creativity, and diversity in ways of self-expression. The community spreads good practices through cooperation. The school has a strong teaching staff: experts, methodologists, authors of textbooks and workbooks, and leaders of various methodological seminars and events. Teachers intern domestically and abroad, and teachers from other schools also come to our Lyceum for internships. The school is an active community where national and international projects of the school and the city are continuously implemented. Students are winners of various competitions and Olympiads. Student self-governance and the Council of Elders, together with the Young Riflemen organization, effectively integrate students into the community, organizing promotions, events, trainings, and participation in youth programs.

The Lyceum has a strong ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) foundation. The school updates computer equipment annually. All classrooms are equipped with computers with internet access. Additionally, all classrooms are equipped with smart boards. Teachers and students use tablets to facilitate the learning process. Students take additional courses in robotics, chess, engineering, project and design, programming, media literacy, mechanics, economics and entrepreneurship, architecture, biomechanics, transportation and logistics, environmental engineering, and more. The school has a FabLab widely used in both formal and non-formal education. The Lyceum has a STEAM Center that ensures effective and creative education. There are various laboratories, such as Physics Laboratory, Chemistry Laboratory, Biology Laboratory, Multifunctional Laboratory, and Mechatronics Laboratory. The STEAM concept is essential not only locally but also for seeking new teaching methods abroad. The school continuously searches for new ways and concepts to expand teaching and learning methods and content. The Lyceum is a member of the STEM School Label Europe network and is also an ambassador school for this network in Lithuania
