This week, we spotlight our third-grader Ava, who joined ISR last year. When Ava and her sister joined ISR, they quickly settled in and won over their teachers. 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.

One of Ava’s great strengths is that she is incredibly inquisitive, in class she questions a lot and can’t know enough. Her teacher Ms. Schmidt says about her “Ava was new to ISR this year but is already part of the family. Ava is a kind and loving member of the 3C team. 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.

Yasmin has developed a love for Shakespeare´s works and has delivered Juliet´s speeches with an accuracy of pronunciation, careful intonation, and enthusiasm – no easy feat, not even for a student with English as a native language and so I am particularly impressed by Yasmin´s performance.
