What does it take to create a memorable dining experience? Our had the chance to find out firsthand as part of Chefs in Town 2026 in Düsseldorf.

Behind their experience was freakstotable, an association with a network of leading chefs and food professionals. Its project brought young people together with chefs and producers to learn about good food and discover the and involved in gastronomy.

The experience began on Friday with a at Catering Art. Together with the professionals, our students explored the ingredients they would be working with, learned more about their producers, and experimented with flavours and presentation. It was their chance to see how much thought goes into a menu before anyone enters the kitchen or welcomes a guest.

On Sunday, our students joined the team at the Steigenberger Icon Parkhotel Düsseldorf, where young people from ISR and the Leibniz-Montessori-Gymnasium helped create a multi-course meal for around 100 guests. One ISR group worked with Tony Hohlfeld, chef and co-owner of the two-MICHELIN-starred Restaurant Jante, on the first course. From preparation to plating, they experienced the precision and teamwork required in a professional kitchen.

The second ISR group took on service and the non-alcoholic drink pairing under the guidance of sommelier and hospitality expert Claudia Stern. Their role brought them into direct contact with the guests: welcoming them, serving the menu, and helping everyone enjoy the occasion. It showed the students that a wonderful meal depends just as much on attentive service as it does on the food.

Over the two days, our students learned about ingredients, hospitality, and the many skills involved in gastronomy. They took on real responsibilities, and worked together as a team. We are proud to offer opportunities like this that take learning beyond academics and allow our students to discover new interests and strengths.

We thank freakstotable e.V., the chefs and hospitality professionals, and everyone who made this experience possible for the children!

In beautiful weather, we were delighted to take part in the Sonnenblumenfest in Meerbusch once again last Sunday!

It was a pleasure to welcome many to our stand for a day of fun and lovely conversations.

enjoyed exploring virtual reality with our VR goggles, having their faces painted, and planting sunflowers. Many of our SLC helped with face painting, and our ISR Spirit joined in the fun, too!

Our partner, Musicbox Oxana, also brought along a selection of musical for children to try. It was lovely to see them enjoying the opportunity to explore different instruments and sounds!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the day a success and to all the ISR families who stopped by to visit us. We would also like to thank the organizers for welcoming us back and giving us the opportunity to host a stand again.

We are looking forward to next year!

Following our recent announcement that Turkish will be introduced as an academic mother-tongue pathway at ISR, we are pleased to share another exciting development in our IB language program.

Beginning in the 2027–28 academic year, students entering the IB Diploma Program at ISR will have the opportunity to study Chinese B at both Standard Level and Higher Level.

Chinese is already offered at ISR from Grade 6 as a third language for native Chinese-speaking students. The new Chinese B option will give these students greater flexibility as they progress into the IB Diploma Program, allowing them to continue developing their Chinese at a level suited to their individual language profile.

Placement in Chinese A or Chinese B will be based on each student’s language proficiency and educational background, as well as the joint recommendation of the Chinese teacher and IB Coordinator.

The addition of Chinese B further strengthens ISR’s broad IB language program. Students can study Language A in English, German, Japanese, Chinese, or Turkish. Language B is offered in English, German, French, and Spanish, with Chinese being added in the 2027–28 academic year.

By expanding the available Chinese pathways, ISR can better support students in developing their academic language skills while recognizing the diverse linguistic backgrounds and proficiency levels within our international community.

We are proud to offer this additional pathway and provide students with even greater flexibility as they develop their language skills throughout their academic journey at ISR.

We are pleased to expand our language programme with a new academic pathway for our Turkish-speaking students.

From the 2026–27 academic year, ISR offers Turkish as a taught academic mother-tongue course from Grade 9 onwards for native Turkish-speaking students.
This gives students the opportunity to maintain and further develop their first language at an academic level and, later, continue with Turkish A: Language and Literature in the IB Diploma Programme, available at both Standard Level and Higher Level. Placement is based on each student’s language proficiency, academic background and teacher recommendation.

Turkish now joins ISR’s already broad language programme. English is our language of instruction, while German is taught to every student from Kindergarten onwards. From Grade 6, students add a third language, with French and Spanish available as additional languages and Japanese and Chinese offered to native speakers.

Within the IB Diploma Programme, students can now study Language A in English, German, Japanese, Chinese and Turkish. For our native Turkish-speaking students, this creates a clear pathway from Grade 9 through to the IB Diploma — strengthening their mother tongue academically while continuing to develop the other languages that are such an important part of an ISR education.

We believe that a strong foundation in a student’s first language, combined with confidence in additional languages, provides valuable preparation for university, international study and life beyond school.

We are proud to further expand our language programme and to offer our Turkish-speaking students a clear academic pathway that values their linguistic identity and supports their future success.

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!

Following the fantastic DELF we recently shared, it was wonderful to finally see our receive their well-deserved DELF at A1, A2, and B1 levels and celebrate this important milestone together.
