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.
