Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
UIS Springhill integrates social and emotional learning through the five Cs: Critical thinking, Creativity, Communication, Collaboration and Character. The school emphasises emotional intelligence and social awareness, and collaboration fosters empathy and a growth mindset. Character education emphasizes integrity, resilience, empathy and responsibility alongside academics. Co-curricular activities and community outreach programmes provide opportunities to practise teamwork and global citizenship.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Inclusive Education is embedded in the school's policy and practice. The school identifies and provides learning support through in-class assistance and differentiated instruction, with English as an Additional Language included in the inclusive framework. The identification process combines teacher and counsellor observation (Stage 1) and, if needed, a licensed psychologist's psychometric assessment (Stage 2). The resulting Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed by the school counsellor in collaboration with teachers and school management. IB Programme practices support inclusive education across the continuum, ensuring access and progress for diverse learners.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school offers Immersive English Programme (IEP) and Intensive English Language Programme (IELP) to develop English proficiency within Cambridge and IB frameworks. The IELP provides structured, levelled support and may extend beyond one year, with progression through Emergent, Capable and Proficient stages. English as an Additional Language (EAL) supports students in mainstream classes who need help with academic English, delivered through in-class push-in and small-group pull-out sessions to ensure full curriculum access. The school values multilingualism and encourages students to maintain their home languages alongside English.
