Health Services
ISR employs a nurse for its Health Center. Students have access to this service throughout the academic day.
Extended Day
ISR offers an extended daycare program for Primary and Secondary students both prior to and following the class day. This program provides adult supervision of the students in the morning from 8:00 until the start of the school day at 8:20 and from dismissal of the academic day at 15:20 (KG-Grade 4) or 16:05 (Grades 5-12) until 18:00. In the afternoon, students may also be engaged in a variety of other organized activities.

The policy at ISR regarding parent-teacher communication is unique. When parents have a concern, a problem, or seek information about their child, they meet with the Academic Coordinator. The Coordinators have a complete, overall picture of the child’s academic and non-academic record and can give the parents all the information needed. If a problem is identified, it is investigated thoroughly and objectively. A solution is proposed and implemented. This approach is extremely efficient and avoids the problem of incomplete information. |
|
Parent-Teacher conferences are held annually in January for students in grades 3-12.
Parent-Teacher conferences for students in KG-G2 are held twice each year, once in the fall and once in the spring. |

|
The PARENT NETWORK (PN) of ISR is an informal voluntary organisation open to all parents with children at the school. |
|
|
 |
PN is the “Bridge” between parents at the management of the school. |
|
PN aims to build a strong community among ISR families. |
|
PN identifies issues that affect our children & community, informs the school and follows up on solutions. |
|
PN is not responsible for the academic program of ISR. |
|
PN encourages our community to pool its resources for the benefit of all. |
|
PN strives to spread an optimistic and constructive spirit in our school. |
|
|
Financially, we are a mostly self-funded organisation (not an “eingetragener Verein” as defined by German tax law), with some financial support from the SABIS® corporation. We spend all our proceeds for the benefit of the school, and donate nothing to charity. |
|
|
Examples of our work include publication of ISR’S newsletter the InSideR, as well as the Weekly Updates posted on WebParent, Bake Sales, co-organisation of International Day, Concerts, Open Door meetings, and staff appreciation day, cooperation with the Internationaler Dialog Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V., and organise an annual PN Party.
|
|
|
PN usually meets monthly during the school year. All parents are always welcome to attend. Class representatives are elected at the first open meeting of the academic year. The PN Board is elected at the last open meeting of the year. |
|
These and all other meetings are announced in the Weekly Updates on WebParent and posted on the PN bulletin board at school. |

In addition to the convenient links to public transport, ISR is always striving to improve the transport facilities for its students. |
|
Several collective transports from the regions of Düsseldorf, Oberkassel, Langenfeld, Meerbusch, and Viersen are already servicing ISR. Additional collective transports can be arranged as soon as there is sufficient interest in a region. |
|
ISR utilizes experienced transport companies that enter into transport contracts and settle the accounts directly with the parents. |
|
A ‘Point-to-Point’ bus service is also available for those families living in areas where there is sufficient demand. Additionally, there are numerous private car sharing initiatives. |
|
If you are interested in collective transport, please feel free to inquire during your Admissions tour or download the current information |
