The mission of our school is to teach children the Latvian language and Latvian traditions. We Offer zoom classes to Latvian language learned with varying degrees of fluency. The school meets in person on a flexible schedule for folk dancing, music, project work and special events. Our school has many special events that students and their families look forward to. These include celebrating “Martini” (an ancient tradition similar to Halloween), baking “piparkukas” (spice cookies) before Christmas, playing in the snow to celebrate “Meteni” (another ancient tradition), and using onion skins, spring leaves and flowers to color Easter eggs. The eighth grade graduates can participate in a two week guided tour of Latvia sponsored by the American Latvian Association. They join students from other Latvian schools on the east coast. This trip has been a profound and emotional experience for many of these students. New students or visitors are always welcome! Please contact the school for more information.
