Middle School
Middle School at the International School of Riga is a time when our Grades 6-8 students are transitioning from the final years of childhood into the first years of adolescence. This is both an exciting and challenging time for students as they begin to appreciate the many opportunities they have, the increased freedoms they have access to and the associated responsibilities. Throughout this journey their parents and ISR teachers help students acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to make good choices for themselves for their future.
