Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The major aim of counselling is to encourage students' academic, social, emotional and personal development. We work with teachers, parents as well as students. We organise programs such as career guidance, social skills programme, and orientation. A committee addresses offences; discipline is emphasized as a virtue necessary for success; staff devotional meetings and spiritual assemblies support holistic development and spiritual mentoring.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Learning support recognises each child as unique and addresses different abilities. It covers needs such as intellectual disabilities and ADHD. It provides a plan for the child, alternative methods of assessment, remedial classes, one-on-one teaching and extra attention.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is a core focus of counselling/mentoring. It supports emotional health through counselling, mentoring and collaboration with teachers and parents. It fosters resilience, attitudes that enable growth and social skills; spiritual mentoring and daily devotional activities complement well-being.
Parent Experience

History
Redeemer's International Secondary School was founded by the Apapa Family (Freedom Hall Parish) of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, now City of David Parish Victoria Island, on 14 October 1996. The church aimed to provide students with an environment dictated by Christian principles and values while offering an educational program that provides sound academic, intellectual, physical and social development. The faculty is trained locally and internationally, experienced and dedicated to the vision 'To make ready a people for the Lord'. RISS is an international school with a difference: one that builds strong Christians with zeal to positively affect their society. Our low staff turnover has produced a strong team, able to structure our curriculum to suit international standards and produce excellent citizens, combining strong Christian values with strict academic discipline to create well-rounded scholars, both intellectually and morally.
