ISR’s Grade 9 Students Showcase the Power of Data Storytelling in Interdisciplinary Learning

Real-World Education at the International School of Riga

At the International School of Riga (ISR), education extends beyond textbooks—it’s about fostering real-world skills that inspire action.

As the only international school in central Riga in pursuit of the IB Continuum, ISR is committed to academic excellence through innovative and inquiry-based learning approaches.

The Power of Data Storytelling in Climate and Sustainability Education

Our Grade 9 students recently embarked on an interdisciplinary project, merging Mathematics and English to tackle pressing climate and sustainability issues. Through data storytelling, students transformed complex data into compelling visual narratives, raising awareness of critical global challenges.

Key Learning Outcomes:

Strengthened analytical and communication skills
Real-world application of Math and English integration
Enhanced critical thinking and problem-solving abilities
Development of visual storytelling and data literacy

ISR’s Commitment to the IB Continuum and Interdisciplinary Learning

This project marks a significant milestone in ISR’s IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) candidacy and reinforces our pursuit of the IB Continuum. It also sets a precedent for future student-led initiatives.

What’s Next?

Students in Grades 6-8 and 10 will showcase similar interdisciplinary projects at our Student-Led Conferences in April, further demonstrating ISR’s commitment to shaping global citizens who think critically and act responsibly.

A Future-Ready Education

By integrating interdisciplinary learning with practical experiences, ISR ensures students develop the skills and mindset to shape a better world. Our mission is to provide an education that blends academic rigor with real-world application, empowering students to become proactive problem-solvers and changemakers.
