International Montessori School of Latvia (IMSOL) embarked on its educational journey in 2019. We are a small, private, English-medium day school nestled in the heart of Riga, Latvia. Our school’s mission is to serve students from 2.5 years to 12 years, offering a unique and enriching educational experience. Drawing inspiration from a thoughtful blend of Montessori and International Baccalaureate principles, we have created an educational environment where students are inspired to become internationally-minded, inquisitive, and principled learners. Our goal is to provide open-ended, creative learning spaces where children can explore, nurture their unique talents, and work towards becoming the compassionate leaders of the future.

It is not that the Montessori teacher is inactive where the usual teacher is active; rather all the activities we have described are due to active preparation and guidance of the teacher, and her later “inactivity” is a sign of her success, representing the task successfully accomplished.
