Welcome to the International School of Latvia

Greetings,

On March 29, 2012, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held in the ISL Library.  During the meeting, the 2011 financial audit and the 2012 - 2017 Strategic Plan were presented to the ISL parents.  79% of our parent body was present or represented by giving their proxy to a parent present at the meeting.  For those not able to be in attendance, I would like to highlight for you some of the discussions that took place.                                                                                                              
1.  The 2011 financials were presented by Juan Gruben and were approved
with 100% voting to accept.
2.  The auditor, Potapovica & Anderson was approved unanimously with 100% voting to use the same auditors again next year.
3.  Heath Bailey presented the 2012 - 2017 Strategic Plan.  You can read the entire Strategic Plan on our website. The focus of the plan for the next five years will be on academic rigor, university preparation, and support for non-native English language learners.
4.  There will be NO increase either in tuition or the capital fee for the 2012 - 2013 school year. We continue to believe that ISL is the best value for an international education, not only in Latvia but across the whole of Europe.
5.  Our enrollment is at an all time high and continues to grow.  We experienced an immediate 20% increase in the fall after the school opened and have been recieving new students each month.
6.  We continue to work on our staffing for the 2012 - 2013 school year and once it is complete we will be introducing the new hires to the ISL community.
7.  The first day of the new school year will be August 15, 2012.  The calender will be finalized in the next month and sent out to you as well as placed on the ISL website.

Finally I would like to say thank you to everyone who was able to participate in the AGM. I hope everyone has a very safe and restful spring break.  If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to stop by my office during school hours or send me an email at lmolacek@isl.edu.lv
