Did you know that the International Montessori School of Latvia is...

 🌍  1 of only 10 Montessori schools worldwide accredited by the International Baccalaureate (IB)? 

✨ The only school to hold dual accreditation in both IB and Montessori, from both Waterpark Montessori International and the International Baccalaureate?

We blend the best of both worlds: the child-centered, hands-on approach of Montessori with the global, inquiry-based framework of the IB.

On Wednesday & Thursday, April 9th & 10th, IMSOL will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt for the children!

On Wednesday, children ages 2–4 will enjoy their hunt right at the Mastu 1 preschool playground to keep things close and comfortable.

On Thursday, children ages 4+ will have an egg hunt at Viesturdārzs Park and then play traditional Latvian Easter games with Zanda. 

We are looking for 5 volunteers to help make the magic happen:

1 volunteer at Mastu 1: 📅 Wednesday, 9:00–10:00 AM

4 volunteers at Viesturdārzs Park: 📅 Thursday, 10:00–12:00 PM

Volunteer responsibilities: hiding eggs, collecting them as they are found, and giving each child a small chocolate treat. 

🌧 Rain Plan: The egg hunts will move to inside the Mastu 4 campus.

✅ This counts toward Parent Engagement Hours!

We’re happy to share that Levs Starostins, a parent from our IMSOL community, will be offering a wellness workshop for interested families. In this session, Levs will share how his family approaches health and wellness with the goal of strengthening the body’s natural defenses and reducing the frequency and severity of illness through proactive care and lifestyle choices.

This is a parent-led initiative based on personal experience and interest. As always, we encourage families to engage thoughtfully and decide what best fits their own values and needs.

📅 Monday, April 7th at 4:00 PM – Workshop in Russian
📅 Tuesday, April 8th at 4:00 PM – Workshop in English

📍 Location: IMSOL Library

The Fox Class (Ages 6-9) took a field trip to the Latvian National Library to dive into the world of books, knowledge, and history! The students especially enjoyed learning about the history of printing, exploring how books were made long before the digital age.

A small group of students were so inspired that they chose to return for a follow-up visit to research books from the 13th century written on vellum and the evolution of text used in printing.

A big thank you to Zanda for organizing the excursion and to Vickas for leading the follow-up trip—it was a truly enriching experience!

The Daisy and Sunflower Classes (ages 5–6) took a wonderful trip to the Latvian National Botanic Garden in Salaspils as part of their ongoing inquiry into nature and life cycles. The children learned about different types of plants and forests, and even explored the deserts of Mexico and Africa, discovering how cacti grow and survive in dry climates.

They had the chance to observe plant life both above and below ground, getting a close look at roots, seeds, and how plants grow and adapt. The visit also included a meaningful lesson on how we can take care of the natural world around us. It was a hands-on, sensory-rich learning experience that brought their classroom inquiry to life!

Thank you to Zanda for the organization!
