For pupils in EIS Senior school, there is a choice between two of the most famous and demanded programmes: the British Advanced Levels programme or the IB DP. The school is authorised by the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) to carry out the Advanced Levels programme, as well as the authorisation by the International Baccalaureate Organisation to implement the IB DP programme.

In addition to international authorisations, EIS has obtained accreditation from the Latvian Ministry of Education. This means that our pupils are assured an education that is, first and foremost, formally recognized by both national and international institutions.
