Parent and Student Reviews of American Schools in NRW
- I still have in my ear the quotation from Mr. Roberts’ information event, that Cologne International School supports the development of ‘mature PEOPLE’ who are at home in the world. That was it for me. Call me idealistic – I am completely convinced that our society doesn’t need highly-paid ‘specialists,’ rather people with sense and compassion…our son – in his pace and manner – can develop into this kind of a person at Cologne International School.Written February 25, 2023
- EAL classes gather students who still need to work on improving their English levels, so their English levels are roughly close to each other. Thereby, EAL students can interactively improve their English, encouraged by each other.Written February 25, 2023
- As a new student, I was very surprised to see that ISD would offer a hip hop dance class as an after-school activity. I met so many people from different grades, including one of my best friends. It’s a great chance to take a break from academics and get some exercise, while having fun and being creative.Written February 25, 2023
- The IB DP gave our son the opportunity to choose subjects that he was curious about, subjects that supported his decision to study Psychology. The counsellors at ISD do a great job of reviewing options that are suitable for the student and make sure the student finds the best option for him or herself.Written February 25, 2023
- I was really inspired by the talented Grade9 students who I had the pleasure of mentoring during the Entrepreneur Week in June. It was a rewarding experience watching how the kids developed over the course of the week-their ideas, understanding of how a business is set up and how it is run, and their self-confidence.Written February 25, 2023
- Other schools feel like school. ISD feels welcoming and warm, like a true community. People want to come here, be involved, share a coffee, talk on the playgrounds. It is volunteering and working together that builds bonds.Written February 25, 2023
