While many students in the Luxembourg area were enjoying Easter Break and time away from school last spring and summer, nine students from the International School of Luxembourg (ISL) departed for Vienna to represent ISL in the International Schools Mathematics Teachers Foundation (ISMTF) Middle School Mathematics Competition.

Over 140 students from around the world participated in the prestigious competition in teams of three, and ... a trio of ISL students returned as the victors! The first place team of Ben Faulkner , Kohki Horie, and Mabel-Louise Prendergast are a fine tribute to the mathematics program at ISL.

ISMTF is a non-profit foundation whose purpose is “to provide support in the enrichment of teaching and learning of mathematics at international schools, nurture exchange of experiences among mathematics educators, and to help generate interest in and enthusiasm for mathematics among students of these schools.“

As a significant milestone for ISL, the school will be hosting the 2014 ISMTF Middle School Maths Competition next year, from 28 February to 2 March 2014. Although ISL has participated in the competition since its inception, this will be the first time ISL hosts the event, which promises to bring over 100 students and teachers from around the world to compete and learn about the wonderful country of Luxembourg!
