ISR Swimming Lessons
ISR Swimming Lessons
Wednesday, 11 September 2019
In response to requests from parents, ISR has added swimming lessons to our Physical Education program. Starting this academic year, Grade 2 students will have the opportunity to participate in supervised swimming lessons during their normal PE lessons. Today, our first swimmers got into the water. Apart from the regular PE instructors, three additional qualified swimming coaches were on hand to help our beginners get secure in the water and to coach our advanced students to improve their swimming skills.
The lessons today went really well and the students had a lot of fun! It was lovely to see so much joy on their faces and we are looking forward to more swimming lessons to come.
Here are some impression of a great morning.

Friday, 06 September 2019
Today, we were honored to welcome Mr. Stefan Koetz (Head of Customer Unit West Europe & Global Customer Unit Deutsche Telekom at Ericsson GmbH) accompanied by his colleague to ISR. Mr. Koetz visited our students and held a thought-provoking presentation on technological advancements made in this modern world, especially in the communications industry.
He brought with him old telephones that were used in the past and some of our students could hardly believe their eyes! They were amazed that people actually used to make phone calls using these “relics”. Besides looking back into the past, Mr. Koetz gave the students a glimpse into the future by demonstrating the uses of the fifth generation mobiles.
At ISR, it is hugely important for us to invite interesting speakers from many different areas on a regular basis. These speakers inspire our students as they can learn a lot of interesting facts for their future from them. Therefore, we would like to thank Mr. Koetz for his time and his informative presentation today.

Spotlight On Our Student Luis
Luis, Grade 9, started at ISR in Kindergarten and since then he has continued to enrich the ISR community. He is a wonderful student whose talents reach far beyond the classroom. He has been performing magic shows, not only at ISR events, but also at children’s birthdays and other events for many years. Magic is his great passion and so he enchants his audience with his charming, cheeky, and funny demeanour on stage.
He is also involved in plays and other performances outside of school and feels really comfortable on stage. Luis is a valued member of the ISR community and is always friendly and helpful to his teachers and classmates. Luis always has an open ear for his classmates and is at their side with wise words of advice. Through his empathy, he gives his classmates a secure feeling and is a popular contact person in his class. This young man is far ahead of his age in many respects and we are very proud to be able to highlight him as a positive example today!

First Day of School at ISR
First Day of School at ISR
Wednesday, 21 August 2019
Today, we warmly welcomed all ISR First Graders to their first day of school! Students and their parents arrived on campus early for a photo session and the annual “Schultüte” ceremony where each child received a traditional school cone. Some children additionally brought their own very colorfully decorated school cones from home, a special tradition unique to Germany.
The Schultüte helps mark the special moment when a child leaves Kindergarten to go on to primary school to begin their official academic career. Parents fill the colorful cones with treats, school supplies, and small gifts and give them to their children the day they become first-graders. ISR is proud to keep this fun and inspiring tradition live for every ISR student.
We wish all our first graders all the best for their first year of school and welcome all students and parents (back) to our community!
