The International School of Neustadt (ISN), founded in 2005, is an English-medium school for students from the age of 4 years onwards. ISN offers an internationally recognized education that allows children to develop the attributes of a world citizen: inquirer, knowledgeable, caring, communicator, principled, open-minded, balanced, reflective, thinker and risk-taker.
By combining world-renowned, internationally recognized programmes, elements from the esteemed Swiss education group SBW Haus des Lernens, and other cutting-edge pedagogy, ISN focuses on a holistic approach towards education, recognizing that all three aspects of development: academic, social and emotional are crucial in an individual’s path towards personal development in an ever-changing global context.
The International School of Neustadt is the only international school in Neustadt a der Weinstrasse and in Rhineland-Palatinate:
(1) accredited by the prestigious University of Cambridge to conduct the internationally recognized "International General Certificate of Secondary Education" (IGCSE: a grade 10 examination and qualification), (December 2007)[1]
(2) and Cambridge's Advanced Level (GCE A level) qualifications (October 2009).
ISN is also an accredited centre to offer Cambridge's Professional Diploma for Teachers and Trainers. All examinations are conducted in Neustadt and marked in Cambridge, UK.
The language of school instruction is English. Children aged 4 to 11 years are exposed to this language throughout the day, from the age of 4 onwards. ISN values the host country language and from the age of 5 and until the end of their primary schooling, children receive several hours of German instruction per week.
The focus is on self-motivated and individual learning in a highly respectful, stress-free and creative environment.
