Student Spotlights: Spotlight On Our Student Daniel
Spotlight On Our Student Daniel
This week, we spotlight our eleventh-grader Daniel, who joined ISR in Grade 5. Since then he has convinced his teachers with his great sense of humor, engagement, and determination. “He is our very own Arsene Lupin! Charming and eloquent, confident in the knowledge that it is only a temporary setback. Why Arsene Lupin? ” Well, he is a master escape artist, having successfully liberated himself from Escape rooms from Moscow to Düsseldorf during class trips. And each time in a different language.”, as his teacher Mr. Beck adds.
He also stands out for his excellent social skills and already publishes his own online magazine. During classes, he always contributes intelligent arguments. “Daniel brings his contagious enthusiasm to the world of video, podcasts, marketing, and communication. With a warm smile and a dedication to exploring new horizons. My team and I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel, and we are eagerly anticipating his next project. With his unmatched creativity, we can’t wait to see what he has in store for our ISR Community – especially now, as he is working on something truly exciting!”, as Ms. Poestges, Head of ISR Marketing adds.
We are very proud to spotlight Daniel, one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

Spotlight On Our Student Aniego
This week, we spotlight our talented musician Andiego, who is currently in grade 3 and joined ISR in kindergarten. Aniego loves to learn, always has many questions during lessons and helps everyone to think in new and different ways. He is also passionate about reading, music, and computers. He always has a smile on his face and a helping hand for anyone who may need it. In addition, he is very family-orientated. If he sees his little brother somewhere, he always hugs him whenever their paths cross during the school day.
His great passion is music, in which he is incredibly talented. His music teacher at ISR, Ms. Bucher, describes him like this “Aniego is a very hardworking, talented musician. He has just won 1st prize in piano for his age group at the Regional level of the Jugend Musiziert competition, earning 24 of 25 points! Aniego is a multi-instrumentalist who has said he wants to learn how to play every instrument. But what thrills me most of all about Aniego is how kind and considerate he is to his teachers and classmates. He is very socially competent, greeting even the staff members he doesn’t know with a friendly smile. Aniego’s star shines bright! I can’t wait to see the places this wonderful kid will go in life!”
We are very proud to spotlight Aniego, one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
