Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning The school does not publish a dedicated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) framework on its website. However, APU’s Student Life section highlights community-building activities such as the Student Council and service-learning projects that help develop leadership, empathy, and teamwork among students. These initiatives suggest that the school encourages emotional and social growth through participation in collaborative and community-oriented experiences. No explicit SEL curriculum, dedicated staff, or named program is publicly documented.	Social & emotional learning At Wellspring Saigon the SEL programme is delivered through a dedicated curriculum via the Learning Support Centre (LSC) which draws on the CASEL five-core competencies to help students develop self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, positive communication and responsible decision-making. The school website states that the LSC curriculum covers self-management, social awareness, positive communication, resilience and mindfulness in a whole-school approach. Counsellors provide structured support across year groups, adopting evidence-based frameworks to integrate emotional and social skill development alongside academic learning. This means SEL lessons are explicitly planned, and teachers and facilitators are guided with a framework to create classroom environments that promote reflection and growth.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) The school does not publicly disclose information regarding specific Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision or specialist staff.	Special educational needs (SEN) Wellspring Saigon provides a Learning Support Centre (LSC) which offers structured learning support lessons and frameworks aimed at assisting students who face learning difficulties in specific subject areas. The LSC is not described as a specialist SEN institution, but rather as an in-school support service. The school materials list a “Special Request Form” for special services (including for allergies or meal adaptations) but do not detail precisely which categories of SEN are supported (for example, autism spectrum or moderate learning difficulties). Thus, while there is a defined internal support structure via the LSC and differentiated learning plans, the school does not publicly disclose full details of all types of SEN support provision.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language APU provides structured support for students learning English through its English Language Development (ELD) Program. The ELD program is designed to help non-native English speakers develop fluency and confidence in reading, writing, listening, and speaking while participating in the American curriculum. It integrates language instruction into daily academic subjects and is overseen by qualified teachers trained in English language education. This is the only dedicated EAL provision mentioned on the school’s official site.	English as an additional language The school’s publicly available information does not specifically outline an EAL programme under that name or full details of tailored provision for English learners. Therefore, we state that the school does not publicly disclose comprehensive EAL support, programmes or staffing.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing The school provides general counseling services as part of its student support framework, including academic and personal guidance. Counselors and leadership staff with education backgrounds are available to assist students with adjustment and development needs. However, the school’s website does not describe specific mental health programs, wellness initiatives, or external partnerships. Beyond these services, no formal mental well-being curriculum or mental health staff structure is publicly detailed.	Mental wellbeing Wellspring Saigon’s website indicates that there is a “Mental Counselling Program” alongside the SEL programme, with counselling specialists trained in child psychology offering confidential advice and support to students. This shows the school provides support structures for mental health, where students can access confidential counselling and wellbeing services. It emphasises helping students cope with challenges, supporting their mental development and offering supervision through trained staff. The school frames this as integral to its student potential development offerings.
