Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
QSI Haiphong integrates SEL through its Success Orientations program, which teaches seven orientation behaviors—Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Concern for Others, Kindness and Politeness, Group Interaction, Aesthetic Appreciation, and Independent Endeavor—and evaluates them separately from academics. These orientations are embedded across the curriculum and reinforced at home to promote respectful, collaborative behavior. SEL is also supported by the Mastery Learning framework, which emphasizes student mastery, differentiated instruction, and a growth mindset; teachers provide tailored support to help students reach mastery. The school notes that social-emotional attributes, including emotional intelligence, influence placement and learning, with instructional adjustments made to engage each learner. The calendar includes International Counselor's Appreciation Week, reflecting attention to student well-being and counseling resources. Together, these elements describe a school-wide SEL approach aimed at developing students' social and emotional skills.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding dedicated SEN provision or specialist SEN status. Public materials describe Mastery Learning with placement assessments and differentiated instruction to support diverse learners, indicating a universal approach rather than a separate SEN program. The Student Services page highlights extracurriculars and enrichment but does not mention a dedicated SEN staff or department. There is no explicit listing of the types of Special Educational Needs the school can support.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English is the language of instruction for most classes, with Vietnamese, Chinese, and French offered as language classes in person; other languages are provided via the Virtual School (QVS). This indicates English-language instruction predominates, and there is no explicit description of a dedicated EAL program in the public materials. The Secondary School page confirms three in-person languages (Vietnamese, Chinese, French) and notes additional languages through QVS, suggesting language support primarily through language offerings rather than a formal EAL service.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is supported through the school's Success Orientations, which promote personal habits, positive interactions, responsibility, and concern for others, and are taught across the curriculum and evaluated independently of academics. Mastery Learning also emphasizes growth mindset and differentiated support, contributing to students' wellbeing by enabling progress at an appropriate pace. The school publicly references International Counselor's Appreciation Week, signaling a focus on counseling and student well-being. These elements together represent the school's approach to cultivating social-emotional competence and wellbeing.

Safeguarding
QSI Haiphong follows the CEESA Safeguarding and Child Protection Statement. The school maintains a comprehensive Child Safeguarding and Protection Program, including a staff Code of Conduct, training for recognizing abuse and next steps, and the establishment of a school-based Child Protection Team. Child protection lessons are taught to students in an age-appropriate way, focusing on safety, identifying trusted adults, and how to seek help, in line with the program. Safeguarding procedures also cover safety during field trips, travel, online activities, and peer-on-peer interactions.
