Forest School at the International School of Riga: Learning Beyond the Classroom

At ISR, we believe that some of the most valuable lessons occur beyond a classroom's four walls. Our students engage in Forest School - a dynamic, hands-on approach to learning in natural environments that are an integral part of our IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). In this video, our experienced educators share insights into how the International School of Riga’s Forest School program is shaping curious, confident, and resilient learners by immersing them in nature. Why Forest School? 🌍 Research from experts like Richard Louv and Michelle Rupiper demonstrates that children benefit immensely from time spent outdoors. Nature-based learning has enhanced focus, boosted creativity, strengthened problem-solving abilities, and improved social skills. Louv’s research describes nature as a “natural architect” of cognitive growth, helping children develop essential life skills. For young learners, it’s more than just fresh air—our Forest School empowers them to build self-confidence, curiosity, and empathy. Key Benefits of Forest School at ISR: Boosted Focus & Creativity: Spending time in nature fosters cognitive development, enhancing children’s ability to focus and think creatively. Social Skills & Emotional Growth: Through group activities, children learn cooperation, empathy, and resilience, creating a supportive community. Hands-on Learning: Forest School aligns with the inquiry-based approach of the IB PYP, encouraging students to question, explore, and engage actively with their surroundings.
