Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
KTIS supports social and emotional development through personalised learning in small classes with mentors who know each student well. The school aims to grow every student in a safe environment where they are recognised, encouraged, and supported to develop academically, socially, and emotionally. The community emphasizes collaboration, emotional safety, and respectful relationships, helping students learn to express their emotions and handle mistakes. Teachers act as mentors and stay in regular contact with families, complemented by extracurricular activities, trips, and community partnerships. The values include emotional safety, autonomy, curiosity, collaboration, and adaptability, guiding everyday learning. An education centred on each child's needs and potential aligns with the Cambridge curriculum to foster holistic development.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Knowledge Tree International School provides an inclusive environment where all students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Learners may require differentiated support and the school identifies SEN early, developing Individual Support Plans (ISPs). Support includes in-class differentiation, one-on-one or small-group interventions, and access arrangements for exams, with collaboration from speech therapists, psychologists, and other professionals. Parental engagement is central, with termly review meetings to track progress. The school recognises social, emotional and mental health needs as part of its SEN provision.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English is the primary language of instruction from Lower Secondary through IGCSE and A Levels across Cambridge syllabuses. In Primary (ages 6–11), KTIS teaches both English and Romanian, with regular weekly lessons to build foundations in both languages. The school supports multilingual learners, celebrating home languages and encouraging their use when helpful for understanding. All teachers design lessons with academic language to develop English proficiency across contexts. Mother tongue is respected; families are encouraged to support their home languages, and the school reflects this in routines, student portfolios, and events. Staff receive guidance on supporting learners for whom English is an additional language, and communication across the school uses both English and Romanian as appropriate.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is addressed through emotional literacy, kindness and safety campaigns, and recognition of social, emotional and mental health needs as part of SEN provision. KTIS employs a School Counsellor and designated safeguarding leads to provide pastoral support. The curriculum includes PSHE and Digital Citizenship, integrating wellbeing and responsible technology use. The school hosts workshops for students, staff and parents to promote wellbeing, and maintains supportive, restorative approaches to behaviour. A focus on emotional safety underpins daily life at KTIS.

Safeguarding
KTIS has a Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy aligned with UNCRC, Romanian law, GDPR, and Cambridge safeguarding requirements. The policy applies to all staff, volunteers, students, parents, external partners, visitors and contractors who interact with children on-site or online. There is zero tolerance for abuse, with Designated Safeguarding Leads and clear reporting steps; safeguarding records are confidential. Digital and online safety guidelines and cyberbullying policies are in place, with safeguarding and inclusion supported by Individual Support Plans for SEN students. Safeguarding leadership includes named DSLs and a School Counsellor, with mandatory safeguarding training and regular drills.

Admissions

Admissions
Admission at KTIS begins with a conversation to understand the child, the family, and what brings you together. The process unfolds in four steps:
1. Book a visit — a guided session of 60–90 minutes to see the school, meet the team, and ask questions.
2. Admissions interview — a conversation with the coordinators for the appropriate level about needs, interests, history, and family expectations.
3. Observation week — the child spends a week in class alongside future classmates to determine fit.
4. Feedback and enrolment — mentors discuss the assessment conclusions and the recommended educational path; if mutual fit is found, an enrolment offer and the administrative steps for the school year are provided.
What we look for: families who want to be part of the community. KTIS seeks families who value curiosity, honesty, and engagement, and understand that education works best as a partnership between school and home.
Tuition: varies by level (primary, middle, high school) and is communicated during the admissions interview.
Next step: book a guided visit to experience the atmosphere at KTIS with the team.
