As an English-medium co-educational school, the International Montessori School of Latvia blends IB PYP and Montessori principles to nurture internationally-minded leaders and compassionate problem solvers.

| Teaching approach of the school |
The Montessori Method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s, is a child-centered approach to education. It emphasizes child-led activities, mixed-age classrooms, and the cultivation of independence in young learners. The key idea is that children learn best when they have a say in what and how they learn. |
