Spotlight On Our Student Zoe

This week, we are proud to spotlight our eighth grader, Zoe, who joined ISR in 2020. Since her arrival, Zoe has consistently impressed teachers and peers alike with her resilience, dedication, and remarkable growth both academically and personally.

Zoe’s homeroom teacher, Ms. Chroni, shares, “Zoe is an outstanding student. I had the pleasure of being her Math and Homeroom teacher for two years, during which she consistently demonstrated focus, humility, and a strong work ethic. She asks thoughtful questions in a respectful manner and expresses herself with exceptional clarity and confidence.”

Ms. Ghica, Academic Head for Grades 2 & 3, writes, “I’ve had the privilege of knowing Zoe since she was in Grade 3, when she and her twin sister first joined us all the way from Great Britain. I still remember her first year—she had to navigate the challenges of joining a new school community right in the middle of Covid. That wasn’t easy.

At first, Zoe was a little shy, but her resilience, determination, and strong academic skills quickly began to shine through. She has grown into a confident young person who continues to inspire others with her quiet strength and her commitment to excellence.

Zoe, we are so proud of you and the amazing journey you’ve taken here at ISR. Keep shining—you’re a true example of perseverance and growth!”

Ms. Freise, Zoe’s sixth grade teacher shares, “I taught Zoe in Grade 6. She was very inquisitive and always up for a challenge. She is very smart and studies a lot. It was always a pleasure to have Zoe in class.”

Zoe’s Music teacher, Dr. Perez, adds, “When I first met Zoe in Music class a couple of years ago, she was very open about the fact that Music was not her favorite subject. Despite this, she has excelled academically in every activity and assessment. Zoe is always respectful, well-prepared, attentive, and engaged – asking thoughtful questions and offering insightful answers. She also brings a wonderful sense of humor that brightens the classroom. She is simply a joy to teach!”

Ms. Racheva, Zoe’s Sports teacher, adds, “I have had the pleasure of working with Zoe for the last few years and I can confidently say she is an outstanding student. She demonstrates exceptional dedication to her studies, consistently producing high-quality work that reflects both critical thinking and creativity. In addition to her academic excellence, she brings a positive and enthusiastic attitude to PE lessons. She always participates with energy, encourages her classmates, and shows great sportsmanship. Her cooperative spirit and determination make her not only a strong student but also a valued team player. With her intelligence, discipline, and positivity, I am certain that Zoe will continue to achieve great success in any academic or personal endeavours she pursues.”

We are proud to spotlight Zoe as one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

 

The ISR Student Spotlight Project aims to highlight one of our students from the ISR-Community every Friday, who embodies our guiding principle “We Enable Great Minds and Strong Characters” by consistently surpassing themselves. Whether through outstanding academic achievements, exceptional dedication, or remarkable character traits – we take pride in having already showcased hundreds of students – and there is more to look forward to every week!
