The International School Neustadt enables students (‘learning partners’) to become life-long learners and equips them with the academic and life skills needed to be responsible global citizens within a rapidly changing world. By implementing the prestigious Cambridge Primary programme, ISN offers learning partners a wide range of subjects and learning experiences. The Cambridge Primary programme provides a strong foundation for students at the beginning of their schooling before progressing through the Cambridge Pathway in an age-appropriate way. Beginning with Reception and ending in Year 5, our Primary Years offers Mathematics, English, Science, Art, Music and Physical Education which are all taught in English. ISN also places a strong emphasis on learning German, and offers additional support for non-English as well as non-German speakers.

In addition to these ‘classical’ subjects, ISN offers Global Perspectives – a programme that develops research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, collaboration and communication skills. This interdisciplinary subject strengthens the links between English, Mathematics, Science and IT/digital literacy and social studies.

Research shows that the earlier students start to develop and practice their skills, the greater the impact on their learning. Making Cambridge Global Perspectives available to younger students develops and embeds cross-curricular skills at an earlier age, supporting them in their studies as they progress to Cambridge Lower Secondary and beyond.

Each Global Perspectives topic or Challenge is subdivided into a range of activities, and covers a range of skills. The skills are taught through a wide range of topics using a personal, local and global perspective. Teachers help students to look at a variety of local and global issues or topics that give a range of contexts.

Our teachers are highly skilled in differentiating across subjects and abilities allowing us to deliver a truly individual educational approach. This commitment ensures a rich and dynamic classroom environment in which each learning partner's unique passions, strengths and learning styles are recognised. By acknowledging that every child progresses at their own pace across different areas, we provide a supportive and challenging learning journey tailored to the individual.
