About international schools in Latvia

British-curriculum international schools in Latvia are concentrated largely in Riga and deliver English-medium programmes built on the National Curriculum for England, often leading to Cambridge IGCSEs and either British A-levels or other recognised pre-university qualifications in the final two years. Many of these schools also teach Latvian (and commonly offer Russian plus modern languages) alongside English and provide English-as-an-Additional-Language support for newcomers. Published annual tuition at British-curriculum international schools in Riga commonly falls in the roughly €10,000 - €25,000 bracket, with market summaries and school fee schedules showing averages in the mid-teens of thousands and individual school tariffs (including one-off membership or registration charges) varying above and below that band. Most schools operate on a Northern-Hemisphere academic year (starting late August/early September) but admissions practice differs by school: several accept applications and place students on a rolling basis while year-start places are often filled well in advance, so relocating families should contact target schools early and have transcripts, proof of residence and any special-needs documentation ready.

FAQs for Latvia

What exactly does a “British curriculum” school in Latvia teach and what qualifications do pupils take?
A British-curriculum school typically follows the National Curriculum for England through primary and lower secondary years and prepares older pupils for externally examined qualifications such as Cambridge IGCSEs; many schools then offer A-levels or alternative international post-16 routes. Some schools combine the English curriculum approach with other internationally recognised programmes for sixth form, so be sure to check each school’s published progression (IGCSE → A-level or IBDP).
What ages and year groups do these schools cover?
Most British-curriculum international schools in Latvia cover the full range from Early Years (nursery/pre-school) through primary and secondary to sixth form, commonly educating children from about age 2 or 3 up to 17 or 18. Individual schools publish age ranges and the exact Year/Grade structure on their admissions pages, so verify placement options for very young children and for students joining at middle or upper secondary years.
Will my child be taught in English and will they learn Latvian at school?
English is the main language of instruction at British-curriculum international schools, but most schools include Latvian lessons and often offer mother-tongue or language support in Russian and other European languages. Schools commonly run English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) programmes to help children whose first language is not English.
How much should we budget for fees and what extra costs might there be?
Published tuition for British-curriculum international schools in Riga typically sits in a broad €10,000 - €25,000 per year range, with market data showing averages in the mid-teens of thousands; individual schools also publish specific fee schedules that can include one-off membership or enrolment charges. Besides headline tuition, expect extras for school transport, private music lessons, some trips and uniforms unless these are explicitly included in the fee schedule, so always check each school’s fee breakdown and refund policy.
When should we apply if we are relocating to Riga?
The academic year usually starts in late August or early September, so parents aiming for a September start should begin enquiries and submit applications several months in advance; however many international schools in Riga operate rolling admissions and can place students during the year if space exists. For families comparing public and private options, note that municipal admission cycles have their own deadlines (for example a commonly referenced municipal application window closes in mid-May for the main intake), so contact both the international school and local education authorities as you plan the move.
