The chosen site is located approximately 10 km away from Vilnius in Miškonys. The area is in harmony with nature, offering a great variety of forest and bicycle paths to explore.

The school consists of 5 houses, where students and teachers share their love for learning. Together they approach each subject with curiosity and creativity exploring it in great depth. The school community provides its pupils with a safe and caring environment.

The whole complex architecture is cladded in timber, but each house is made unique by subtle changes in patterns of cladding. This provides a feeling of unity and warmth yet celebrates unique characters of each house.
