The Greenland School

The Greenland School promotes good treatment among all members of the school community. It promotes spaces for meeting and participation among all members of the school community to improve the learning climate. It addresses situations that affect the school climate and the learning environment through preventative and intervention measures. It implements formative programs and actions that emphasize convivencia and the wellbeing of students. The Orientation Programs cover topics including good treatment, affectivity and sexuality, wellbeing and self-care (including prevention of alcohol and drugs), self-knowledge, life project, care for the environment, and leadership development. The convivencia and salvaguarda plans are evaluated annually to strengthen ongoing work.

The Greenland School has a Psicóloga Educacional and a Psicopedagogo on staff to diagnose difficulties and plan support for learning. They work with external specialists and families to implement appropriate actions and monitor progress. The staff coordinates with the school leadership to provide psychoeducational support and respond to learning needs. The Reglamento Escolar includes roles for Salvaguarda and convivencia, integrated with the psicoeducativo team for student welfare. A dedicated psychologist and a developmental/educational specialist collaborate to identify and address learning differences.

The Greenland School offers intensive English instruction. It operates a bilingual program (BAL) to support bilingual education, including a Director of Studies Bilingüe (BAL). English is taught across levels, with an English department managing Infant and Senior levels. The BAL program is overseen by the BAL leadership within the school's organizational structure. The BAL program is integrated into the curriculum to foster bilingual language development.

The school emphasizes wellbeing and mental health as part of its convivencia and Salvaguarda framework. The Plan Salvaguarda aims to protect students' physical and mental wellbeing and safety, promoting a communicative, protective, and supportive environment. The plan includes actions to monitor and support emotional wellbeing through the school's psicoeducativo team and classroom staff. There are programs and campaigns that promote mental health, self-care, and resilience among students and staff. When concerns arise, a multidisciplinary team provides appropriate support and referrals.

The school has a digital Salvaguarda mailbox for students to raise concerns or report rights violations. Guardians can formalize complaints through an interview with a member of the leadership or the psicoeducativo team. The Salvaguarda team manages and documents safeguarding cases, including opening and closing of protocols in the appropriate records. Protocols for safeguarding and vulnerability, including the right to report and timeline requirements, are defined in the Protocolo de Salvaguarda y Convivencia. When needed, the school coordinates with authorities and external agencies, maintains a central Casos de Salvaguarda file, and uses Schooltrack for case management. The school's safeguarding policy aims to prevent and protect against harm to students and to provide repair and support as required.
