Virtual Jura Career Talk with Dr. Schröder-Frerkes
Jura Career Talk with Dr. Schröder-Frerkes
Tuesday, 23 March 2021
Today, we had the great honor of introducing our students to Dr. Schröder-Frerkes, a distinguished lawyer and partner at Bird & Bird, an international operating law firm. Within the framework of a virtual discussion, our middle and upper school students had the opportunity to ask specific questions relating to law, Dr. Schröder-Frerkes’ professional profile as well as his experience in practicing law. During that discussion, our students gained insight into the complex everyday life of a lawyer in a lively Q&A round.
Dr. Schröder-Frerkes has more than 25 years of professional experience as a corporate and M&A lawyer and offers his domestic and foreign clients extensive expertise in the areas of M&A, private equity and venture capital transactions, MBOs, group valuations, restructurings, and re-organizations as well as joint ventures. In the course of his career, he has achieved numerous notable successes and was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit by the former German Federal President, Mr. Horst Köhler, for his commitment to the development of German-American relations. Since 2008, Dr. Schröder-Frerkes has also served as Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce (NRW) and on various advisory boards, including ISR.
We are pleased to be able to offer our students the opportunity to have extensive interactions with highly qualified and inspiring individuals. These opportunities have far-reaching benefits to our students as they can learn from their experiences and successes and focus on their future plans.
We would like to thank Dr. Schröder-Frerkes for taking the time to show our students exclusive insights into the work of a lawyer. Interactive lectures like these create considerable added value for our students at both schools!
Enriching Learning Concept in Our Kindergartens
Enriching Learning Concept in Our Kindergartens
Monday, 22 March 2021
Our Kindergartens in Neuss and Düsseldorf are governed by a unique concept that promotes learning through play from an early age, thus successfully preparing children for Primary School. It is important for ISR that play and fun are not neglected and that the children at ISR are introduced to learning content in a playful way. We are convinced that learning content with fun is worth much more than pure theory!
A few impressions of the last weeks from our Düsseldorf location:

Christina is not only convincing in Mathematics but across all subjects. Her Science teacher Ms. Vig, says that she has many wonderful qualities including being kind, funny and friendly: “the best thing about Christina is she will accept, reflect and act on all the feedback I give her, which is why teaching her is such a pleasure! You’ve got this Christina!”
Supervisor, Mr. Mo, who has known Christina for many years, concludes, “Christinchen, as I call her, is the youngest of her siblings, and she is very intelligent.
