The International School of Riga (ISR) proudly announces that our students were invited to the President’s Castle (Rīgas pils) on December 11, 2024, to participate in a special event celebrating the 106th anniversary of the Proclamation of the Republic of Latvia. Hosted by the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs, this honor highlights our commitment to integrating our international community into the cultural and historical fabric of Latvia.
As part of a national creative writing competition, students from across Latvia were asked to imagine themselves in the role of the President and deliver a heartfelt speech to the nation. ISR students from grades 10-12 were selected among the best participants, showcasing their creativity, thoughtfulness, and understanding of Latvia’s history and values.

As an international school offering IB education in Riga, ISR emphasizes developing global citizens who are deeply connected to their local community. This event reflects our mission to provide students with learning opportunities that inspire them to think critically, engage meaningfully, and contribute to the world around them.
