Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Social and Emotional Learning support is delivered through weekly “Moral Classes” that are specifically designed to build students’ emotional intelligence, ethical reasoning, empathy, self-awareness, and conflict-resolution skills. These classes are age-appropriate and interactive, using storytelling, role-play, guided discussions, and reflection journals to help students understand emotions, friendships, peer pressure and ethical challenges as they grow. Teachers consistently reinforce SEL themes not only in these Moral Classes but also across the school day. This includes classroom activities, homeroom sessions and conversations about behaviour, so that the concepts become part of everyday learning and conduct. The SEL curriculum is grounded in international frameworks and aligned with the school’s core values of confidence, responsibility, resilience, innovation, and principled decision-making. This integrated approach supports students in forming positive social relationships and improving emotional regulation.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding SEN.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Horizon International Bilingual School does not specify EAL support. However, the school does publicly discuss structured English language support through programmes aligned with the WIDA framework, aimed at helping learners build strong English skills and integrate into mainstream English-medium instruction.

Mental Wellbeing

Horizon International Bilingual School provides student support through a dedicated School Counselor who works with individuals and small groups to help students navigate emotional, social and behavioural challenges. The counselor offers confidential guidance, supports students in developing coping skills, and assists with personal concerns that may affect learning or wellbeing. Students can be referred to the counselor by teachers, parents or they may self-refer.

The counselor collaborates with families when appropriate to support student growth. The counselor also works with teachers and staff to build a supportive classroom environment and shares strategies that help students manage stress, transitions and peer relationships. In addition to individual sessions, the counselor coordinates programmes that promote positive mental health awareness, resilience and self-management skills across the school community.

Safeguarding

Horizon International Bilingual School follows a comprehensive Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy designed to prevent and respond to all forms of child abuse. The school uses safe recruitment practices, including mandatory background checks, to ensure staff suitability. All concerns must be reported immediately to the Head of Character Education, who leads the response and works with the school’s Child Protection Committee. This consists of the Principal, Head of Welfare, HR Manager, and a legal advisor. Reporting procedures emphasise removing a child from immediate danger, documenting concerns confidentially and referring cases to the Allegations Management Team when necessary. The school also provides annual staff training, promotes child-rights education, and offers safety seminars for students and parents as part of its safeguarding programme.
