International Schools in Riga, Latvia

Riga’s international schools offer a compact but diverse market where English-medium day schools sit alongside French, German and bilingual options, and a small number of Montessori and specialist programmes for younger children. Several schools in the city teach International Baccalaureate programmes alongside British/Cambridge, national French and German tracks, so families can choose routes that prioritise university access in different countries. Fees and extras vary a lot by school and age, but published ranges for full-time places commonly run from roughly €10,000 up towards €22,000 a year, with separate one-off enrolment or capital charges at some schools. Admissions are frequently handled on a rolling basis where places exist, although parents should apply early for sought-after year groups and plan around Latvia’s school year, which begins on 1 September.
