Philosophy and values Baltic International School is focusing on positive thinking and values. The concept of positive education includes three components: child's academic achievement - so called traditional intelligence child's character building - social and emotional skills child's health ​ It is close to holistic or integrated (wide-approach) education, when we see a single, indivisible image of a child, and each part is interrelated. Interestingly, educating the traditional intelligence does not necessarily develop the child's social emotional competencies, that is, getting good results,s/ he will not necessarily be able to deal with difficult feelings, difficult situations, and develop favourable relationships with other people, or be able to make the right decisions. Often, on the other hand, when faced with a more difficult situation or failure, such child, and later adult, find it difficult to lose, to leave the circle of perfectionism. However, if we see a common whole and equate our children with self-esteem, empathy, and social skills - academic results will gradually improve, and more importantly, satisfaction with them, motivation to learn, to strive for and to cope with failures, to recover. Positive education links the well-being of children (positive emotions, participation, positive relationships, meaningfulness and achievements, healthy behavior) with traditional education. Positive education develops the child's well-being and social responsibility. Positive educational methods are based on positive psychology, and its cornerstone is to help students develop their strong side, achieve the ability to quickly regain strength and nurture positivity. ​ We emphasise the establishment of an emotionally safe environment, where the school nurtures a safe, child-oriented culture, high self-awareness, self-control and social responsibility, which determines not only quality of life, but also better learning outcomes. We observe how at ease children rejoin their studies and activities back in Lithuania. And experience in Tenerife encourages them to love and understand their roots even further. Travel helps to evaluate and nurture Lithuanian identity. ​ ​ ​

About School School's values and education is based on positive education methods. We seek not only to improve children's knowledge and skills, but also develop children emotional well being, social responsibility and health. Education programmes are adapted to strengthen the self-confidence and authentic behaviour. We assist children to develop their strengths, foster the ability to regain their powers and recognise the rhythm of their personal development. Special attention is devoted to emotional intelligence education, a social and emotional education programme "Dramblys" (An Elephant) is embedded at school. We follow principles of healthy lifestyle and diet. The school is established on the shores of the ocean, have outside classes and inside yard to play, thus the children most of the day spends outside We believe, that we succeed when school's management are united around the idea that the well being of children is as important as academic achievements, which fostered by inviting the whole school's community to support the idea. PERMA model (Dr. Seligman, 2011) - five elements of goodness and used in all schools of positive education - is used to engage school's administration, teachers and parents: Positive Emotion: kindness, gratitude, hope, contentment are all positive emotions that contribute to the “pleasant life.” Engagement: engagement is about being totally absorbed (in the flow) by a present task where time and self- consciousness seem to cease. Relationships: strong positive relationships; we are “social beings” who need to connect with one another. Meaning: act local - think global - life comes from serving something that is bigger than self; altruism and philanthropy are good methods to establishing a meaningful life. Achievement: having goals and meeting those goals, improves your well-being and allows you to flourish.
