1. Individual support

We use a variety of pedagogical approaches and offer individualized support to meet the learning needs of each student. We achieve excellence through language proficiency groups, English and French immersion programs, and unique national and international academic opportunities.

2. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere

The efficient teacher-to-student ratios, custom-built facilities with communal spaces, and transparent administrative and security policies aid us in ensuring a safe and friendly environment for learning.

This year, Exupéry International School welcomes students in preschool (starting at the age of 18 months) and school (Grades 1-8), where the learning process is organized in small groups that help to provide personalized education and encourage social interactions. The classrooms are spacious, well- equipped, and use only natural materials.

Preschool classrooms are all located on the building’s ground floor, in an exclusive area of the school premises built to suit small children’s needs. The rooms are distributed around a large, multi-functional space where children are able to come together and participate in a variety of recreational activities.

Our modern and innovative building offers a healthy environment for your child. We partner with a local award-winning restaurant named ’36. Line’ to provide our students with unique and healthy menu choices four times per day. For children with allergies, special meals are provided.

At Exupéry Preschool we work hard to support each child in making a fast and easy adaptation from home to preschool, and in making a successful transition from preschool to primary school.

3. International Curriculum

Exupéry welcomes students and professors from all around the world. Thanks to our exclusive pedagogy and our experience in multi-lingual education, we offer outstanding language instruction in French, English, Latvian, and Russian.

We offer numerous extracurricular activities in order to encourage students to develop their lateral thinking, as well as their artistic, athletic, and social skills. Beyond academic excellence, our goal is to train world citizens committed to the values of respect, sharing, and diversity.

Our curriculum is far more than the subjects that are taught; it is the whole range of learning opportunities that students have access to throughout their studies at Exupéry. The education we provide will form the basis of their lifelong learning and success. We aim to make learning exciting, challenging, and fun so that all students develop the knowledge, skills, and interests that will enrich their lives.

We constantly review and develop our curriculum so that students have access to subjects that will expand their learning and future options. We want students to be enthusiastic about their learning and prepared for the 21st century. The Exupéry Learning curriculum is based on knowledge of theory and research in early childhood education, coupled with an understanding of best practices.

In developing our curriculum, we consider the whole child – cognitively, socially, and physically. By incorporating the latest research on early childhood, Theory of Play, active exploration, and the most current learning practices, we have created a truly balanced, innovative, and interest-driven curriculum for children.

Primary school program (Grade 1 — 5)

The Primary School curriculum is constructed according to the framework of the IB Primary Years Program (PYP). It focuses on the holistic development of the child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world at large. It is defined by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, which are engaged through the knowledge and skills derived from six subject areas: Math, English, Arts, Physical and Social Education, Science, and Social Studies.

Learning process

We maintain small class sizes to ensure quality learning for every student, and each class is led by a pair of experienced teachers. All classes are conducted in English. From Grade 3 onwards, the students are also offered an Intensive English Course.

As a part of the educational process, we offer strong mother tongue support and local language acquisition. Vocabulary expansion, organic language usage, and literacy are all considered priorities. In the afternoon, we provide a variety of activities to round out the students’ development and increase their interaction with English, which is the language of instruction.

Middle years program (Grade 6 - 9)

In the upper grades, EIS follows the Understanding by Design planning principles for its curriculum, and operates according to the requirements of the locally accredited program and international standards. Students acquire a diverse curriculum supported by the school's unique language acquisition methodology and project-based learning activities and develop a range of cognitive strategies to enhance their comprehension and use of English as the language of instruction.

Learning process

Students are given ample opportunities to develop their understanding. We encourage them to take part in cooperative learning, community outreach, and student government. Some units are in-depth, intensive examinations of a single subject, while others are long-term, cross- disciplinary studies that rely on a fusion of subjects to create a tangible product. A blend of tests, assignments, and projects are provided to assess student results in a balanced manner.
