It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
IMSOL grew out of two Montessori preschools. The journey began in 2019 when it was founded as Pirmie Soļi. A second preschool campus opened in 2022 to meet demand. In 2023 IMSOL was authorized to operate as an international school by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science, and in 2024 opened its first Elementary School section for children aged 6-9, while achieving dual accreditation by the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and Waterpark Montessori Institute, the first of its kind in the world. Plans call for two additional classes in the 2025-26 school year (another 6-9 section and an age 9-12 section).
IMSOL is enriched by the mix of cultures and backgrounds represented by families from Latvia and around the world. This diversity is the cornerstone of our community. Parents are warmly welcomed to share their customs, traditions, and stories, providing lessons about global citizenship to students. Together, we embody the attributes of the PYP Learner Profile, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all.
International Montessori School of Latvia (IMSOL) offers an English-medium, co-educational program for ages 2 to 12 that blends Montessori pedagogy with the IB Primary Years Programme. The Preschool (ages 2.5–6) blends Montessori with IB PYP Early Years, emphasizing inquiry-based, mixed-age learning. The Elementary Program (ages 6–12) blends Montessori with the IB PYP, applying the IB Scope and Sequence for Science and Social Studies and integrating Common Core standards for Language and Math. IMSOL is a candidate IB World School pursuing authorization for the PYP and holds dual accreditation with the IB PYP and Waterpark Montessori Institute, a unique credential. English is the language of instruction, with multilingual development through Latvian Studies and a Home Language Program. The Mastu iela campus opened its main building in August 2024, featuring a gym, cafeteria, art room, music room, library, and two playgrounds, plus a preschool space. Outdoor education and excursions accompany daily learning.
