The Dubnov Jewish School in Riga is the only Jewish school in Latvia. Founded in 1989, it was the first Jewish state school to be set up in the former Soviet Union and is a pioneering institution in Jewish education in the country. It joined the ORT network in 2010.
The school, which caters to its 470-plus students of elementary to high school age, follows the national curriculum, and places an emphasis on design, technology, medicine, languages (including Latvian, Hebrew, English, and Chinese), and Jewish studies.
It integrates ORT educational programs into extracurricular offerings and uses project-based learning throughout the curriculum. Its technical infrastructure supports innovation in STEM, media production, and digital literacy.
Participation in international STEM, environmental, and social initiatives reflects the school’s commitment to continuous innovation and global best practices, offering students an enriching educational experience within a multicultural and inclusive environment.
