Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Social-emotional growth is woven into the curriculum through SEE Learning. Verita has a low student-teacher ratio (1:10) that supports personalized SEL support and student agency. Kindness is at the center of daily practice at Verita.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English is the language of instruction at VIS, taught from Early Years through high school.

From Year 2 to Year 6, students benefit from in-class EAL support as well as out-of-class interventions to join whole-class English teaching where possible. In Secondary, a combined push-in/pull-out system supports language development. The student population is multinational, representing approximately 10 nationalities and languages, and students are supported to develop full academic proficiency in English.
