 "Matilda Lithuanian School opened with the idea - "mama - for mama". I am a mother like all of them, facing the challenges of living and raising children in the UK. I aim to help children and parents find the motivation to learn and speak Lithuanian. I also want to encourage children to develop an interest in Lithuania and their roots, to feel confident and to understand the great advantage of being multilingual and Lithuanian. I really hope that we will grow together with the children, with their parents, and create a Lithuanian community in Berkshire County, which does not exist yet. It's not just a school, it's a community," says Aistė Calaghan, the school's founder.

Matilda's Lithuanian school is not only about education, but also about friendship, creativity and unforgettable moments! So we invite everyone to join our family and create a beautiful future together!
