Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The school provides social and emotional learning through a Care team that supports teachers, students, and families. The homeroom teacher is the main contact for students and parents regarding academic or social concerns. The Care team comprises the Head of School, the DP Coordinator, the School Psychologist, the School Psychologist's assistant, the Career Counselor, and the Homeroom Teacher, and meets regularly to plan and review support for each student. The team collaborates with subject teachers to support students' personal development and well-being within the IB programme. Counseling services are available as part of inclusive support, including external mental health counseling when appropriate.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school implements an Inclusive Education/Special Educational Needs policy. The Learning Support Team (School Psychologist, the Assistant, and the Career Counselor) develops an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and a Learning Support Plan (LSP) tailored to each student. Educational supports include classroom accommodations, differentiated instruction, collaborative planning, enrichment activities, small-group or one-on-one support, and, where needed, outside therapeutic counseling. For students with more significant needs, General, Moderate, or Intensive Support is provided, with an ILP and, if required, a professional diagnosis and tripartite agreements with parents and external therapists. The school provides inclusive assessment arrangements, including reasonable accommodations for IB exams.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Good knowledge of English is a condition for admission; applicants take an English-language test to demonstrate the ability to study the IB Diploma Programme in English. The Language Policy governs language preparation and use within the programme.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is supported through the Care team, with roles including the School Psychologist and the Career Counselor, who collaborate with homeroom and subject teachers to monitor and support students' well-being. The Inclusion Policy notes that mental health difficulties (such as anxiety) are recognized in the range of possible needs, and the school may provide counseling or external mental health support as part of Learning Support. Regular, coordinated meetings and individualized plans help address social and emotional needs alongside academic progress.

Safeguarding
Confidentiality is maintained; information about a student's needs is shared only as appropriate and with parental consent. The policy describes tripartite conventions among the school, parents, and external therapists to coordinate support, and the Governing Body maintains oversight of student protection and care processes. Regular communication and documented plans (ILP/LSP) ensure safeguarding through coordinated, confidential partnership among all stakeholders.
