Deutsche Schule Sankt Thomas Morus

Getting to know ourselves, understanding what we like and what we don't like, builds empathy, respect, and the dignity of others. The school's coexistence effort emphasizes a long-standing commitment to positive behavior that strengthens as the whole community participates. The vision is a community that values itself and its environment. The mission prevents conflicts through psychoeducation, ongoing support, and the provision of socioemotional tools for students, teachers, and families. The school seeks socioemotional wellbeing, acceptance, and respect for differences within the community. There are social skills programs, including socioemotional literacy for grades 1–4 and healthy relationships for grades 5–6, with tools to regulate emotions, communicate assertively, work in teams, and resolve conflicts peacefully.

The school's convivencia team is composed of two special education teachers, a psychopedagogue, and two psychologists, who, together with the convivencia coordinator and other staff, address the diverse needs of students and grade-level communities. They address educational, social-emotional, and developmental needs and collaborate with families and external specialists. The team provides individualized support, reinforces therapies, and works with families and external professionals to support learners. The school uses climate surveys and the Plan for Coexistence to guide actions toward inclusive practices. There are preventive and supportive programs, including social skills programs and psycho-emotional support. Staff receive ongoing training to foster inclusive classrooms.
