If you are relocating to Latvia and want a French-curriculum education, the main option is the French school in Riga, which operates within the French-education network and holds official French recognition for at least part of the cycle. These schools teach the French national curriculum in French while offering instruction in other languages such as Latvian and English and may run bilingual or language-support tracks. Tuition is charged and varies by year group and services (canteen, transport and activities are often billed separately), so families should consult the school for current tariffs and ask about employer or embassy education allowances. Admissions follow the local school year rhythm with a September intake; non-French speakers are commonly assessed for language support, so early contact with the school is recommended.
How many French-curriculum international schools are there in Latvia?
There is effectively one established French-curriculum institution in Latvia, based in Riga and listed in the network of French schools abroad; families relocating to other parts of the country normally consider boarding, commuting or local Latvian schools for alternatives.
What curriculum and qualification will my child follow and receive?
These schools follow the French national curriculum and prepare students for the standard French secondary pathways; depending on the school’s level of homologation they may offer the full sequence up to the French baccalauréat or homologation for earlier cycles. Check the school’s official statements about which years are homologated to confirm the terminal qualification available.
What language(s) are used in the classroom and how are Latvian and English handled?
French is the language of instruction for the French curriculum, while Latvian and English are typically taught as additional languages and schools often provide targeted French language support for children arriving with limited French. Ask the school for details of its bilingual options, the hours of Latvian/English tuition and any extra language-support programmes.
How much should I budget for fees and extra costs?
Annual tuition and the scope of included services vary by school and year group; many French schools publish a fees schedule covering tuition, registration and separate charges for meals, transport and activities, so you should request the current tariff from the school. If cost is a concern, ask whether your employer, the French embassy or the school offers financial support or fee arrangements.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Admissions follow the school year calendar with a primary intake in September, and most schools operate a pre-registration process and place allocations several months before the start of term, so families should contact the admissions office as early as possible. Expect an application file (reports and ID), and for pupils from non-French systems there is commonly a language or level assessment and an admissions committee decision.
