Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning The school provides school counseling to support mental health, social and emotional well-being, and behavior. A licensed School Counselor takes a proactive, child-centered, developmental approach to counseling across grades 4–12. The RTI framework identifies students who require emotional, behavioral, and academic support. Counseling aims to identify and manage emotions, maintain positive relationships, establish effective communication, solve social and academic problems, make thoughtful decisions, take responsibility, and set goals to sustain well-being. Students learn best when they feel safe, supported, nurtured, and connected to trusted adults, and ASM fosters this through counseling and a balanced school culture.	Social & emotional learning The Montessori toddler community nurtures the child7s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs in a safe and loving atmosphere. The adult is available for the child and listens to his needs, creating a relationship of trust that supports confidence and self-esteem. The childrenbs house (3-6 years) provides a multi-age environment that helps children become socially responsible. The environment is rich in material and meets physical, emotional, and intellectual needs, fostering freedom, trust, satisfaction, and mutual respect. Language development is integrated into daily learning, with a tri-lingual environment (English, French, and Arabic) that supports communication. Independence and self-discipline are cultivated through carefully prepared activities that promote concentration and a positive approach to learning.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) The Learning Support Department provides push-in and pull-out supports to meet academic and behavioral needs, and offers accommodations or modifications to the curriculum and office hours. The department uses a Response to Intervention model to identify and support students with learning disabilities, Gifted and Talented, ELL needs, and Social-Emotional Needs. The inclusive classroom is designed so students feel valued, are engaged, and move toward independence, with strategies such as open communication, differentiated instruction, flexible groups, and targeted supports. Collaboration with families is encouraged to support student progress.	Special educational needs (SEN) The school has an Inclusion, Equality and Diversity Policy. The policy commits to inclusion, equality, and diversity in all aspects of school life and values inclusion as a core principle. All children feel secure and valued and have equal access to school programs. The policy states that barriers to learning will be reduced and that pupils with additional needs will receive appropriate support. A dedicated speech therapist and language support team provide language-related assistance to pupils who need it, and instruction is tailored with accommodations as needed. Multi-age classrooms and an inclusive approach support pupils with diverse needs and ensure families are partners in planning and progress.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language Introductory Program for non-English speakers uses English Immersion to welcome students who speak little to no English into ASM up to Grade 6. Core subjects are taught in English during the immersion period, with regular classes including Art, Music, Computer, Physical Education, Arabic and French. After year one, most students are mainstreamed into the regular program, with ongoing support from the Learning Support Department to accelerate integration. ELL needs are included in ASM's inclusive practices and differentiation across the school.	English as an additional language English is one of three languages offered at Planete Montessori International School. The Toddler community offers tri-lingual opportunities in English, French, or Arabic, with language learning integrated into daily activities. Our International School classrooms incorporate both spoken and written language, and vocabulary is developed to support expression, writing, and reading. Children develop language skills through conversations, descriptions of objects, songs, and stories in multiple languages. The school provides language support through its inclusion team to help pupils who need additional language assistance. The tri-lingual approach fosters multilingual development and intercultural understanding.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing ASM emphasizes student well-being, with mental health defined by the World Health Organization as a state of mental well-being enabling individuals to cope with life's stresses, learn, work, and contribute to the community. A School Counselor works proactively with students in grades 4–12 to support mental health, social and emotional well-being, and behavior. The counseling program uses a developmentally appropriate approach and RTI framework to identify and address students' emotional and academic needs, aiming to help students identify and manage emotions, build positive relationships, communicate effectively, solve problems, make thoughtful decisions, and set well-being goals. Students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and connected to trusted adults, and ASM fosters balance and advocacy for students' needs.	Mental wellbeing The school emphasizes student well-being through a safety-conscious, caring environment. A Safety and Well-being Commitment guides daily operations to keep everyone safe and comfortable on site. The school has a zero-tolerance policy for abuse, bullying, and discrimination and follows clear disclosure and reporting procedures to resolve incidents. Policies cover health and safety, academic integrity, student conduct, and teaching approaches to foster respect, responsibility, and collaboration. The inclusive environment supports health, learning, and growth for all pupils. The multi-age setting and emphasis on trust, independence, and mutual respect contribute to positive well-being.
Safeguarding	Safeguarding ASM has a Child Protection Policy (2025-2026) adopted by ASTO member schools to provide a safe, secure environment for children, aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. All staff must report suspected abuse or neglect, and the policy outlines the roles and processes for reporting, investigation, support, and collaboration with authorities as needed. The policy includes a Child Protection Protocol Flow Chart, definitions and signs of abuse, and suicide prevention and self-harm protocols. The policy is distributed annually to parents and applicants, and staff receive training to protect children.	Safeguarding Safeguarding is a top priority at Planete Montessori International School. There is a zero-tolerance policy for any form of abuse, including bullying and discrimination, and incidents are handled through established disclosure and reporting procedures to ensure they are dealt with promptly. The school is guided by policies that cover academic integrity, student conduct, health and safety, and learning and teaching approaches to foster a culture of respect, responsibility, and collaboration. The Inclusion, Equality and Diversity policy promotes a culture of belonging and sets out roles and responsibilities for safeguarding and IE&D. The school supports health, learning and growth for all members of the school community and encourages parents and students to engage with policies as partners in safeguarding.

Scholarships	Scholarships ASM Financial Aid Program provides a tuition discount up to 15% of total tuition per household for families with documented financial hardships. The deadline for financial aid applications is April 30 each year; new families enrolling after April 30 have a deadline of July 31. Funds are limited and awarded to a limited number of families; the Financial Aid Committee reviews applications and communicates decisions by May 31, with families selected required to complete the formalities within seven school days. Other forms of financial aid include Tuition Remission for faculty dependents (up to two children), Flexible Payment Plans, and Bank Loans (Attijariwafa Bank or Bank of Africa) with favorable terms; if full tuition is paid by the deadline, a 5% discount may apply, lowering the effective loan interest. The policy emphasizes confidentiality of files throughout the process.	Scholarships —
