Our teachers are not just educators — they are dedicated guides with deep expertise in Montessori and IB PYP. All of our classroom teachers hold both Montessori and IB certifications, and we hold weekly Professional Development to improve our skills.
They understand and support the unique needs of every child, working closely with students to help them:
✨ Explore
✨ Discover
✨ Learn at their own pace
Teachers are skilled at creating an environment that fosters:
🧠 independence
🎯 resourcefulness
📚 a lifelong love for learning
💬 Because of our multi-aged structure, children learn not just from their teachers but from each other. Older students take on mentoring roles, while younger ones benefit from their guidance, creating a supportive, cooperative atmosphere.

The Elementary students visited the Latvian Museum of Natural History this week and had a fantastic time exploring the wonders of the natural world! They observed fossils, minerals, animal specimens, and insects, and learned about Latvia’s ecosystems and wildlife. The trip sparked curiosity Earth's history—a perfect real-world connection to their Units of Inquiry. It was a day full of discovery, observation, and awe!

Imagination Takes Flight in Preschool
|
|
|
The Daisy and Sunflower Classes have kicked off their new Unit of Inquiry, How We Express Ourselves, by exploring how imagination helps us think, create, and solve problems. As part of this learning, the children are using recycled materials to build their own creations—turning everyday items into something entirely new! A wonderful way to express ideas through hands-on, imaginative play.
