The International School of Latvia (ISL) recently celebrated a milestone 30th anniversary with a vibrant community event filled with music, performances, and fond memories. The celebration was a testament to ISL’s rich history and its role in shaping the educational landscape in Latvia over the past three decades.

The festivities kicked off with a series of lively performances by the school’s youngest students. Children from kindergarten to grade 5 took to the stage, showcasing their talents through a variety of songs, dances, and skits. Their enthusiasm and creativity set a joyful tone for the day and highlighted the importance of the arts in the school’s curriculum.

The secondary student band followed with an impressive set, performing remarkable covers of Radiohead and Talking Heads tracks. Their rendition of these classic hits captivated the audience, demonstrating the high level of musical talent nurtured at ISL.

Adding a touch of local flair to the event, the acclaimed Latvian band Carnival Youth, winners of the European Border Breakers Award (EBBA) and the EBBA Public Choice Award, delivered an electrifying performance. Their music resonated with both students and parents, bridging
generational gaps and celebrating Latvian culture.

Since its founding, the International School of Latvia has grown from a modest institution to a leading educational establishment in the region, known for its commitment to academic excellence and international-mindedness.

Over the past 30 years, ISL has provided a supportive and dynamic environment where students from diverse backgrounds come together
to learn and grow.

The anniversary celebration was more than just an event; it was a reflection of ISL’s journey and its ongoing commitment to fostering a sense of community and belonging among its students, staff, and families. The performances, both by the young students and the seasoned musicians, encapsulated the spirit of ISL—a blend of tradition, innovation, and cultural appreciation.
