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.
