All meals are provided by a licensed external catering company that prepares meals according to the standards set by the Latvian Ministry of Education. The weekly menu is posted each week. From September 2022, meals are billed monthly at a flat rate based on the number of school/kindergarten days in the calendar month, regardless of attendance. If a child has a food allergy, parents must provide a medical certificate so the caterer can prepare an individual meal (EUR 1 per day extra). Parents and children must not bring food from home. Water is available in school areas and cafeterias. Birthday cakes may be allowed with teacher coordination. If there are concerns about meals or special diets, they can be discussed with the principal or head of administration.
Deutsche Internationale Schule Riga is a German international school located in Riga. Founded in 2015 as a kindergarten, it has expanded to elementary and secondary levels, with the oldest students in grade 9. Serving about 300 children from 25 countries, the school offers the IB Diploma Programme (DP) alongside a bespoke curriculum for German Auslandsschulen, including the GIB-Abschluss, an extended IB variant. The curriculum emphasizes language learning from early childhood: preschool and kindergarten are taught by German teachers with native-speaking capabilities, supported by German-speaking assistants who also understand Latvian, Russian and English; in elementary, students study German, English and a third language, with a fourth language added in middle school. English instruction starts in kindergarten and a Sommer language course runs in summer. Classes run 8:30–15:30, with an after-school program until 18:30 offering homework support, tutoring, electives and supervision. The school welcomes residents and international families on stays in Latvia.
