Riga Secondary evening school No 18
Riga Secondary evening school No 18 is situated in Riga – the capital city of Latvia. Our educational programmes cater to varied needs of our students, be it distant learning, special needs, minority language based or adult oriented – both primary and secondary. Our speciality is inclusive education, something that, given the diverse background of our students, comes across as remarkably natural and unforced to us. We strive to provide an educational opportunity to those with complicated history of learning – students having had long off-school periods, expectant mothers, first-time parents and the like.
