China-Germany Children's Painting Exhibition
China-Germany Children’s Painting Exhibition
We are delighted to be part of a very special international art and cultural exchange project: the China-Germany Children’s Painting Exhibition.
The project was initiated in cooperation with the Chinesisches Kulturzentrum in Berlin, which invited ISR to participate in an artistic exchange connecting young people from Germany and China through creativity and art.
Under the guidance of our ISR Art Teachers, Ms. Henebry and Ms. Schultz, 30 ISR art students created artworks exploring how they perceive China from their own perspective, as well as how they see and represent their own home country, city, and surroundings.
The artworks were then sent to China, where they became part of the international exhibition “Let Dreams Fly – Children’s Paintings from Hubei, China and Berlin, Germany” at the Hubei Provincial Library. The exhibition opened in July and brought together artworks by children from Hubei Province and Germany. While the Chinese works were selected from almost 1,000 submissions, the German contributions were created by our students.
A particularly special part of the project is a collaborative artwork created across both countries. On July 29, ten children from Hubei worked on two five-meter-long scroll paintings, with sections intentionally left unfinished for children in Germany to continue and complete.
We are very proud of our students for sharing their creativity and perspectives with an international audience and sincerely thank Ms. Henebry and Ms. Schultz for guiding them throughout this inspiring project.
Our sincere thanks also go to the Chinesisches Kulturzentrum in Berlin for initiating this wonderful project and making this meaningful cultural exchange possible. We are proud of our positive partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.
The cultural exchange continues – on November 6th, the artworks will be exhibited at ISR.
AIWCD Halloween Party 2026
AIWCD Halloween Party 2026
On Sunday, our hallways were filled with little ghosts, spooky witches, and a wonderful variety of creative costumes as the American International Women’s Club Düsseldorf (AIWCD) and ISR once again hosted their traditional Charity Halloween Party!
Many families gathered for a fun-filled afternoon of Halloween games at ISR. Children tested their skills at Balloon Darts, Feed the Spider, Pumpkin Pong, Plinko, Pin the Spider on the Web, and Pumpkin Pitch, and crossed their fingers for a sweet win at the Cupcake Walk. At the Craft Station, they decorated foam pumpkins and made glow-in-the-dark bracelets to take home, while the bake sale and hot dogs kept everyone well fueled throughout the day.
As every year, the annual Haunted Hallway was a major highlight! The bravest guests were greeted by a mysterious witch who read their fortunes in tarot cards before stepping into the glowing black-light laboratory of our mad scientist. Surrounded by his eerie experiments, the children were invited to help the scientist find inspiration for his next invention by drawing on his lab walls with fluorescent markers – a thrilling adventure for the whole family!
Thanks to the generosity of everyone who joined us, the event raised over €3,000 for the AIWCD Official charities, supporting their vital work in our local community.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the American International Women’s Club, our long-standing partner, for organizing yet another unique Halloween celebration that brought joy to so many children. A special recognition goes to the AIWCD volunteers and our dedicated ISR CAS students, who contributed enthusiastically to the day’s success – from portraying the witch and mad scientist to running the exciting Halloween games and craft station. We would also like to thank everyone who baked, donated, and volunteered their time, as well as our ISR facilities, security, and cleaning teams for helping the day run smoothly. And, of course, a big thank you to all of the families and guests who came out to celebrate with us!
We are grateful for the opportunity to share this American tradition once again with our international families!

Spotlight On Our Student Shuo
This week, we spotlight our Grade 11 student Shuo, who joined ISR in 2025. His curiosity and kindness shine at ISR.
His TOK teacher, Ms. McGowan, shares:
“His contributions enrich our classroom discussions and he has truly risen to the challenges and complexities that TOK presents. Beyond these strengths, Shuo is a kind, considerate and wonderfully supportive classmate. Quite simply, Shuo makes every TOK lesson a little brighter. Well done!”
His determination also impressed Ms. Baker Jackson, his former English teacher: “His determination to succeed was evident from the beginning. He was a great addition to the class, working well with others on group projects, specifically the Macbeth transformation.”
English teacher Mr. McGowan adds: “Shuo is both cool and good! At IB level, Shuo often asks questions I wouldn’t even have thought of and drives class discussions in interesting and productive directions.”
His kindness shines, too. Former Biology teacher Ms. Abker recalls: “He is an exceptionally kind and polite student. He is also very dedicated and consistently makes a sincere effort in his learning.”
Looking ahead, UCC Counselor Dr. Corbin notes:
“He brings a kind and respectful manner to our conversations and has approached exploring future university pathways with care and thoughtfulness.”
His commitment extends beyond lessons. IB CAS Coordinator Mr. Urban shares: “I got to know him as a very dedicated, respectful, organized and committed student.”
Shuo serves as an SLC prefect and Biology Lab Assistant, is on the Mock Trial Executive Team, participates in the Duke of Edinburgh Silver program and leads a basketball activity.
SLC and MUN Advisor Ms. McGee adds: “This week, Shuo helped deliver presentations during Advising lessons as part of our Stomp Out Bullying Campaign, helping to share an important message of kindness, respect and standing up for others. Shuo is a wonderful example of what it means to live our motto, ‘It’s Cool to Be Good’, not simply through his words, but through the way he treats others and willingly gives his time to support our school community.”
We are proud to spotlight Shuo as one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

ISR Open House 2026
ISR Open House 2026
On Saturday, we were delighted to welcome many visitors, families, cooperation partners, and team members to our ISR campus in Neuss for this year’s ISR Open House. The day began with information presentations in German, English, and Japanese, giving interested families an insight into ISR and our educational approach. During these presentations, we also introduced our new ISR Elementary School campus in Düsseldorf, which will open in August 2027 – an exciting next chapter for our ISR community and beyond.
Throughout the day, our dedicated Student Leadership Council (SLC) members guided families around the campus in several languages, sharing their experiences and helping visitors discover life at ISR.

Our students and teachers brought learning to life through a varied program! The Grade 7 and 8 Science Fair and the open science laboratories showcased student investigations, while our foreign language exhibition featured French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Turkish. Art displays, interactive Languages and Humanities activities, and presentations on the International Baccalaureate (IB) core offered further insights into learning at ISR. Visitors also explored artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and robotics, while stage performances in the cafeteria added to the lively atmosphere.
We were pleased to welcome our cooperation partners Rochusclub Düsseldorf, Musicbox Oxana, Ballet by Claudia Peltzer, HDI Versicherungen, Ausblick Immobilien, Schwimmschule Wasserlust, Yoga by Dr. Winnie Chow, Famville, Kunst am Platz, GradTutor, Broich Catering, Zweelo, Kumon Connect, the International English Library, the American International Women’s Club Düsseldorf, and the British Women’s Club Düsseldorf. Their participation enriched the event and introduced families to a wide range of activities and services within our wider community. Our IB students also hosted stands for their CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) projects “A Bracelet at a Time,” “Dots for Donations,” and “Butterfly,” offering handmade creations in support of their initiatives.
Our wonderful ISR Parent Network organized a bake sale in the cafeteria, offering an impressive selection of homemade cakes and pastries. Broich Catering served warm meals and drinks, while Coffee Bar Bacio e Amore and Angelo’s ice cream truck added variety with freshly brewed coffee and ice cream. Our SLC students also contributed to the welcoming atmosphere with their popcorn and waffle sale. Young book lovers also enjoyed browsing the ISR Library’s children’s book sale, where they could find new reading favorites to take home.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to the ISR Parent Network for their generous initiative and to all the families who contributed their delicious creations. We also extend our sincere thanks to our Class Representatives, who joined the presentations, answered questions, and shared their perspectives with interested families.
Thank you to all students, teachers, staff, families, and partners whose commitment helped make our ISR Open House such a memorable day. The event reflected the curiosity, warmth, and strong sense of community that make ISR special! It truly lived up to the ISR Parent Network’s motto: “Good schools are made of students – great schools are made of families!”
ISR University Fair 2026
ISR University Fair 2026
Where will your path lead after ISR?
We were delighted to host another successful SRT International University Fair at our ISR Campus in Neuss, giving our Grade 10 to 12 students the opportunity to explore their options beyond school and connect directly with representatives from universities and educational institutions around the world. Among the institutions represented were IE University, Nottingham Trent University, Swiss Education Group M.E, Esade Business & Law School, ESCP | Berlin Campus, Constructor University, WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, and the University of Strathclyde Golf Society, alongside many others.

Spotlight On Our Student Mitsuki
This week, we celebrate Grade 7 student Mitsuki, whose curiosity, kindness and determination shine across his subjects. He joined ISR in 2025.
His positive energy stands out in Japanese. Ms. Hirano shares: “Mitsuki is a polite, thoughtful, and hardworking student. He brings positive energy and enthusiasm to every lesson. His steady progress reflects his commitment to learning. His cheerful attitude and willingness to do his best make him a valued member of the classroom.”
His confidence is growing, too. Our English teacher, Ms. McGowan, adds: “Mitsuki brings genuine enthusiasm and endless curiosity to every English lesson. He is an impressively reflective learner who is growing in confidence when taking on academic challenges. He never leaves a lesson without saying ‘thank you’, showing what a thoughtful and respectful student he is.”
That thoughtfulness also shines in Mathematics. Ms. Chroni notes: “Although I have known Mitsuki for less than two months, he has already made a very positive impression. He is polite, respectful, and genuinely engaged. He always takes the time to thank us after each lesson, giving teachers an extra boost to keep doing their best.”
His former EAL teacher, Ms. Freise, recalls his willingness to learn: “Mitsuki is polite, funny, inquisitive, and a joy to teach. In my EAL class last year, he took feedback seriously, applied it to his learning, and showed steady growth. His enthusiasm, kindness, and positive outlook made him a wonderful member of the class.”
His creativity is equally evident. His Art teacher, Ms. Schultz, shares: “One of Mitsuki’s impressive artworks was a piece inspired by Osaka Castle. Its detail and careful observation reflected strong thinking skills and wonderful artistic talent. His hard work is always evident.”
Mr. Edwards, Mitsuki’s Grade 6 Homeroom Teacher last year, praises his team spirit: “Mitsuki is a wonderful learner who is always curious and eager to expand his knowledge. He approaches new challenges with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. He is an absolute team player, showing kindness, respect, and support to his classmates.”
We are proud to spotlight Mitsuki as one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

ISR to Open Additional Campus in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel: Landmark Altes Comenius Building to Become a School Again as Early as August 2027
ISR International School on the Rhine Neuss / Düsseldorf / Meerbusch
ISR to Open Additional Campus in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel: Landmark Altes Comenius Building to Become a School Again as Early as August 2027
Wednesday, 23 September 2026
Swift restoration work enables an early opening for all grades offered in Düsseldorf, Grades 1–6 / As an extension of the existing school, the new campus shares the same curriculum, enrollment contract, and tuition structure as the Neuss campus / All-day care from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and a 1:6 staff-to-student ratio / After Grade 6, students are guaranteed a place at the Neuss campus on their path to the IB Diploma / Enrollment opens in October 2026 / ISR Open House on October 10, 2026
ISR International School on the Rhine will open an additional campus in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel for the 2027–28 school year. Restoration of the landmark-protected Altes Comenius at Comeniusstraße 1 began earlier this year and is progressing so swiftly that classes for Grades 1–6 can begin there in August 2027. One of the state capital’s most storied school buildings will thus return to its original purpose. Enrollment opens in October 2026.
The new campus is an extension of the existing school rather than a newly founded one. Its curriculum, educational approach, enrollment contract, tuition structure, and quality standards are therefore identical to those of the Neuss campus and the ISR Kindergartens in Düsseldorf-Niederkassel and Meerbusch-Büderich. The ISR Kindergarten Düsseldorf-Niederkassel is just a few hundred meters away, making the transition to Grade 1 especially smooth for the children who are already learning there, as well as for their families.
After Grade 6, students move on to the Neuss campus with a guaranteed place and without having to reapply, continuing their educational journey through the Cambridge IGCSE to the IB Diploma Programme. ISR deliberately keeps its secondary school and IB Diploma years together on a single campus, ensuring a range of high school courses that is both broad and specialized. On average, students spend eight years at ISR.
Above all, the new campus offers Düsseldorf families dependable support. All-day care is guaranteed from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.—at no additional cost—and an established substitute teacher system ensures that classes continue even when teachers are absent. A school nurse and a Wellbeing Counselor dedicated to supporting the whole child will be on site. As in Neuss, ISR offers a school bus service, and the campus is easily accessible from many parts of Düsseldorf via the nearby Belsenplatz and Barbarossaplatz public transit stops. Safety standards are the same as on the Neuss campus: a security officer will be on site to accompany students during arrival and dismissal, monitor access to the grounds, and ensure a safe environment for families.
Instruction follows the Cambridge International Primary and Lower Secondary Curriculum, which, as part of the Cambridge Pathway, structures students’ learning from Grade 1 through the IGCSE and on to the IB Diploma. Mathematics, English, German, science, social studies, and computer science form the core of the academic program, while art, music, physical education, and social-emotional learning are part of every school week. German is required for all students—either as a first language or as a foreign language, based on the North Rhine-Westphalia state curriculum. Beginning in Grade 6, students add a third language: French, Spanish, Japanese, or Chinese.
A Historic Building with Modern Facilities
“With this step, we are restoring the Altes Comenius to its original purpose: a school building will once again be a school. What excites us about this building is how it will bring together more than a century of educational tradition and state-of-the-art facilities,” says Peter Soliman, Managing Partner of ISR. “It will be an ideal combination.” In addition to thoughtfully equipped classrooms, the new campus will feature a spacious auditorium, a gymnasium, a modern library, and newly designed playgrounds and outdoor learning spaces.
The new campus will be led by three experienced members of the ISR leadership team: Eileen Lyons (Academic Leadership), Colm Rowan (Head of Elementary School Düsseldorf), and Annika Poestges (Head of Administration & Marketing). ISR is also committed to continuity in the classroom: teachers who have taught at the Neuss campus for years will move to Oberkassel, joined by new colleagues who have been onboarding in Neuss since the start of this school year. As a result, families in Oberkassel will be welcomed by a well-established team from day one. As at every ISR location, the Oberkassel campus will maintain a ratio of one staff member for every six students.
The strength of ISR’s academic program is reflected in the results of its most recent graduating class. In 2026, ISR graduates in the IB Diploma Programme—which leads to the full IB Diploma, recognized in Germany as equivalent to the Abitur—achieved an average score of 36 points, around 20 percent above the global average of 30 points, with a pass rate of 100 percent. Nearly a quarter of graduates (24 percent) scored 40 or more out of a maximum of 45 points. All graduates leave ISR with two diplomas: the IB Diploma—earned as a bilingual diploma by 59 percent of the Class of 2026—and the High School Diploma. In the Cambridge IGCSE examinations, taken at the end of Grade 10, the pass
rate was likewise 100 percent, with 66 percent of all exams awarded the top grades of A* or A. In the DELF French-language examinations, every candidate passed, and the highest score was 96.5 out of 100 points.
A Wide Range of Opportunities for Neighborhood Families
“For us, opening this new school comes with a genuine responsibility toward Oberkassel and the entire district,” Peter Soliman emphasizes. “A school is an essential part of its neighborhood, so we want to open ISR to the local community—for example, with a Christmas celebration in the courtyard or themed evenings, to which we warmly invite our neighbors. In the future, families who are not part of the ISR community will also be able to benefit from our wide range of offerings, such as the expertise of our University and Career Counseling team or our Wellbeing Team.”
With the Oberkassel campus, ISR is responding to years of growing demand from international and Düsseldorf-based families on the left bank of the Rhine. Enrollment opens in October 2026, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the school year. Current ISR families from the three ISR Kindergartens and the Neuss campus will receive priority admission for the inaugural 2027–28 school year.
Interested families are invited to learn more about the new campus and meet the team at the ISR Open House on October 10, 2026, at the Neuss campus. Tours of the new ISR Elementary School Düsseldorf will be offered beginning in February 2027. Admissions inquiries may be directed to Isabel Reimann (Admissions) at +49 (0)211 95074-14 or admissions@isr-school.de.
About ISR
ISR International School on the Rhine, based in Neuss, is a private international school offering a full-day program. More than 1,200 students from the region and around the world learn together as they work toward internationally recognized diplomas. Alongside academic excellence, character education and social responsibility are at the heart of the school’s mission, and students are prepared for university study at leading institutions in Germany and abroad. For younger children, ISR operates international kindergartens on the Neuss campus and in Düsseldorf-Niederkassel, as well as a German-language kindergarten in Meerbusch-Büderich. In August 2027, ISR will open an additional campus for Grades 1–6 in the landmark-protected Altes Comenius building in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel.
Student Spotlights: Spotlight On Our Student Chris
Spotlight On Our Student Chris
This week, we are proud to spotlight our eleventh-grader, Chris, who joined ISR in 2022. He was nominated for the Spotlight by his English teacher, Ms. McGowan, who writes:
“Although I have only been teaching Chris since the start of the academic year, he has already made a fantastic impression. In IB English he consistently demonstrates a positive attitude, a willingness to learn new things, and he is growing in confidence when it comes to sharing his insightful ideas. A real highlight is the quality of Chris’ written work which is fluent, convincing and engaging to read. I’m also lucky enough to teach Chris TOK where he displays an excellent ability to see complex topics and challenging issues from a range of nuanced perspectives. Above all, Chris is a kind, respectful student who is a pleasure to have in class. And when it comes to the IB Learner Profile, Chris does not just see the attributes as ideas; he puts them into practice each and every day. Well done, Chris!”
His impressive development at ISR is also highlighted by Mr. McGowan, Head of Secondary English:
“I had the very great pleasure of teaching Chris in grades 9 and 10 and watching him move from our English as an Additional Language pathway to our native level pathway; seeing him adapt to English A at IB this year is a genuine pleasure and fully deserved. Chris’ dedication to self-improvement, responding to feedback and overall effort are markers of his character, and this has been true of Chris for the entire time I have been fortunate enough to teach him and know him. When you add to that just how friendly, caring, polite and funny Chris is, you really have an ideal ISR student who fully embodies the notion that it is cool to be good.”
Chris also demonstrates great creativity and commitment. Ms. Chroni shares:
“Chris was one of my Grade 8 Mathematics students—polite, respectful and exceptionally strong academically. He is also a very talented artist, something I got to see more of during our recent SLC retreat. What stood out to me most was how much he cared about doing his best for his group. His artwork for the Academic Achievement and Conduct group poster was exceptional, and he was so determined to finish it that he was willing to stay behind and work on it alone, even if it meant giving up some of his Chemistry study time. He really gives his all, and that says a lot about the kind of person he is.”
Finally, Mr. O’Brien, Head of Science, adds:
“Chris is an actively engaged student who likes to establish a firm understanding of the fundamental principles governing physics. He poses probing and intelligent questions, highlighting his ability to connect different areas of the course in a meaningful manner. His calm nature and patient approach to problem solving contribute wonderfully to the IB physics lessons.”
We are proud to spotlight Chris as one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
