This week, we spotlight our Kindergarten Niederkassel student Tomoya, who started in KG2 in October 2020. Very quickly he made a lot of friends and can often be found building Lego or playing catch with the other children in the group and across the whole Kindergarten.

Right from the beginning he was super confident in Japanese, but initially found it more difficult to communicate in English. Since then he has surpassed all expectations and has not only supported his friends by translating for them, but also continuously contributes during lessons and has made an incredible academic progress. Every day he enters the Kindergarten with a big smile and when you ask him how he feels, he answers “happy”!

He has become a great role model for all children in the group and is always going one step further than expected. Ms. Puchta, his Early Years Educator, adds: “I’m personally immensely proud of what Tomoya has achieved. We look forward to seeing where his path takes him and are excited about his future. We are grateful that he is part of our ISR Community. “

We are very proud to spotlight Tomoya one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
