Locking back: ISR Summer School 2021
Loocking back: ISR Summer School 2021
Monday, 26 July 2021
“Learning English in the summer is fun while playing games and making new friends” is the motto of this year’s four-week ISR Summer School program.
In the last four weeks, approximately 150 children from kindergarten to grade 8 participated in our exciting ISR Summer School program.
This program not only included interesting lessons in mathematics, science, German, and English, but games and sports, as well. A highlight of any international education is meeting new friends from all over the world.
The mornings were dedicated to lessons, naturally, all in English and the afternoons were dedicated to fun. The afternoon program involved interesting visitors, age-appropriate excursions, and games. Some of our interesting visitors included a clown, who delighted the children with a fire show, a hip-hop trainer, and a trampoline coach. Our students visited many destinations in our region, such as a farm for young children, an outdoor playground, a trampoline park, and a climbing hall. For rainy days, the organizers of this year’s ISR Summer School came up with something special for the children -racing car simulators placed in the cafeteria. A definite highlight!
We had a very successful ISR Summer School 2021, and now we are looking forward to 2022!
Impressions of the ISR Summer School 2021:
“On the one hand, the varied Summer School program offers a good opportunity to work on learning deficits of the past months in a playful way in the morning. This year, however, our afternoon program focused, particularly on games, fun, and sports. Being able to let off steam outdoors again with their classmates or new friends is something many children have been missing lately,” emphasizes Karsten Baumann, head of the sports department and of this year’s ISR Summer School.

We are proud to announce that we have increased the number of solar panels on our roof, as a way of leading by a good example and producing environmentally friendly and sustainable electricity for ISR. Since 2018 the solar panels have produced over 75.000 kWh of electricity, the expansion is a major achievement for the entire community and we are excited to produce even more green power with the new panels!
As an educational institution, it is highly important for us to set a good example as well as to support and complement our numerous student projects and initiatives that are dedicated to the environment. Likewise, we are grateful to be able to make a contribution to environmental awareness by expanding our solar panel project.
Only as a community, we can achieve great things, and this is another step in the right direction!

This week, we spotlight our KG1 student Harry who joined ISR in 2019. At first he was a bit shy, but he quickly developed into an open-hearted, bright student, who loves to talk about anything and everything. ,”We are so proud of Harry’s development!”, adds his KG teacher, Ms. Daisy. Harry stands out for his caring and helpfulness. His friends and teachers appreciate these qualities in him very much. His empathy extends to his peers, as it is important to Harry that everyone in his class is doing well. When someone in his kindergarten group needs support, Harry is the first to step up and offer his help.
Harry loves working on his math workbook pages and is always the first one to put his hand up during our circle time activities! His kindergarten teacher Ms. Daisy concludes: “It’s been an honor to watch Harry grow up to be such a bright and motivated learner! He’s become such a social butterfly, and we are very excited to watch all the fantastic things he continues to exceed at!” Harry has developed into a wonderful young boy during his time in our kindergarten, and we are so happy to have him.

This week, we spotlight our eighth-grader student Lennox, who joined ISR in first grade. Lennox is characterized by his friendly nature and willingness to help. He is an attentive student who always gives his best in class. He is highly motivated, despite the fact that he attended class virtually for the past school year, this did not change his commitment and performance, as his teacher Ms. Macanovic confirms. Lennox already demonstrates a great sense of responsibility, and this is also reflected in his relationship with his younger sister. “He’s an incredibly great big brother,” says Mr. Mo, a supervisor at ISR. It is always obvious how caring and responsible he is.
Lennox’s great passion includes sports, and he is a talented footballer. Karsten Baumann, Head of the Sports Department at ISR adds, “For him as an athlete and passionate footballer, the last few months have been particularly difficult. He was always one of the first to be on the pitch for the SLOⓇ activity changed and could hardly wait for it to start. I have found Lennox to be a very friendly and positive student who always has a smile on his face.”

Ava has a lovely character and is characterized by her friendliness and her bright personality. Her classmates have taken her directly to their hearts and she has been able to make friends quickly.

She is a genuine and friendly student, who is well liked by her peers. Ava takes great care and effort in producing excellent work. She is a talented writer and very creative student.

Looking back: Our ISR Art Camp 2021
Looking back: Our ISR Art Camp 2021
Wednesday, 30 June 2021
The ISR Art Camp was once again a success this year! The camp, which is loved by our creative students, was fully booked within a few days of announcing it! Today we look back on the week of this creative art camp. 15 students participated and they received varied art projects that they had to complete during the week. The whole week the students learned about different materials, art techniques and used those techniques to work on their paintings and sculptures.
The students worked with acrylic paint, canvases, they worked on different aspects of coloring and the effects of such. Due to the gentle instruction by Ms Schulenberg, the students were able to completely discover a new side to their creativity. On the last day of the camp, Friday, the students invited their families to their Art Exhibition. They proudly showed their parents, teachers and ISR staff around the exhibition explaining their art and the techniques they had learnt over the week. We would like to thank Ms. Schulenberg for planning this year’s successful ISR Art Camp!
We are already looking forward to the next ISR Art Camp in 2022!
Ms. Schulenberg offers creative courses in her studio at Hermannsplatz 7 in Neuss. If you are interested please visit her website: kunst-am-platz.de
