International School of Riga expands to Skanste

Nov 27, 2024

International School of Riga (ISR) and Baltic Horizon Fund has signed a lease agreement for approx. 3,680 m2 premises in the S27 building in Riga. The lease is one of the largest office agreements in Riga this year.

ISR is a leading provider of international education, enrolling students from preschool through high school. Operating from two campuses in Riga, the school currently accommodates 310 students from over 47 nationalities. The demand for international education in Riga continues to grow, driven by increasing global mobility and talent relocation, including the presence of NATO forces and military alliances in Latvia. Additionally, Latvian entrepreneurs’ success in international markets has resulted in families frequently relocating due to career opportunities. Parents with international academic backgrounds are also driving demand as they recognize the importance of high-quality, globally accredited education for their children.

Downtown Riga is highly desirable for families, offering a well-rounded lifestyle with cultural, entertainment, sports, medical, and recreational services. However, the city center has insufficient capacity for accredited international schools, with most located outside Riga in areas like Piņķi and Babīte. In response to these challenges, ISR has sought a larger, centrally located campus to meet the growing demand for international education, eliminate waiting lists, and support future growth.

The new premises at S27 align perfectly with ISR’s vision of providing a modern, inspiring environment that enhances the learning experience and promotes well-being for both students and staff. Located in Skanstes, the new campus is just 700 meters from ISR’s current secondary school, ensuring convenience for families and staff.
