RWTH Aachen University visit
RWTH Aachen University visit
Tuesday, 29 January 2019
Last Monday, a group of Grade 10 and 11 students, accompanied by Ms. Wacker and Ms. Dickers, attended the RWTH Aachen open day. The students enjoyed a full day of informative talks about the various STEM degree courses offered at the university and were also able to visit departments and see some of Aachen.
At ISR, it is very important for us to regularly visit different universities with our students. We do so in order to show our students all the options that are available to them even it means visiting institutions across borders. This summer, some of our students will have the incredible opportunity to visit different Universities in the US for this very reason.
Field Trip to Museum Kunstpalast
Field Trip to Museum Kunstpalast
Thursday, 24 January 2019
Last Wednesday Grades 4 A and B visited the museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf. They participated in two different guided tours: First one was called “Achtung Kunst-Viren!” (Warning! Art Virus).
During this tour, the students were provided with an overview of artworks from different countries in Europe, Japan and the Islamic art realm. The overview demonstrated exciting signs of cultural transfer and intercultural dialogue.
The second guided tour was called “Chemie der Farbe” (Chemistry of Colors) and showed how artists and painters can turn into chemists and scientists. The old masters of painting have always experimented with different ways of obtaining colour. This time around, it is the students’ turn to try their hand at candle wax painting using elderberry juice, lemon juice and salt.
The whole museum visit showed students that art is in no way boring but a lively experience and an interesting way of expressing oneself.

On Saturday, together with ISR’s Indian community, we celebrated the Indian Harvest Festivals of – Lohri, Makar Sankranti, and Pongal here on campus. What an amazing and colorful event!

The highlight of the festival was a traditional bonfire accompanied by Indian drums to celebrate the end of the winter season and to rejoice and celebrate the beginning of longer days.

The Nutcracker

Before the holiday break Musicbox Oxana (Büderich and Neuss) performed ” The Nutcracker” with artistic support from the ISR International School on the Rhine at the C. Bechstein Centrum Düsseldorf.
The children-only fairy tale was supported by ISR’s Young Artist Group and Creative Minds groups who decorated the concert halls in a hand-painted “Nutcracker” motif. The group started preparing the music, dancing, and acting several months ago helping to ensure the performance was a big success. From the actors, dancers, and musicians, everyone did a fantastic job! Great work everyone!
