Tianjin International School

Tianjin International School supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through a dedicated counseling team and advisory teachers within a safe, caring community. The counseling team addresses emotional and social difficulties, helps students build emotional resilience, navigate interpersonal relationships, and manage stress. Follow-up and collaboration sessions are arranged to plan long-term social-skill training and self-esteem building. The environment is designed to be safe and supportive, with on-site health staff and counseling as part of student well-being. The school emphasizes SEL as an ongoing practice supported by counseling services and student-support structures.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, including types of needs supported, staff qualifications, or whether a dedicated SEN unit exists.

Tianjin International School provides Pre K–12 education in English. The Early Childhood Center uses English immersion to support language development, and the Elementary program emphasizes sustained language development and language arts to support reading, writing, listening and speaking. Language development is presented as a central feature of the curriculum across the lower grades. Explicit EAL staff, programs, or targeted EAL classes are not detailed in publicly available materials.

Mental wellbeing is supported through a school counseling team and advisory teachers who care for students and provide social-emotional support. Counselors address emotional and social difficulties, help students develop resilience, navigate relationships, and manage stress, with follow-up sessions for ongoing social-skill training and self-esteem building. A Health Office with a trained healthcare professional is on duty daily from 8:00 to 17:00. The school monitors air quality daily at 8:00 under nurse guidance and adjusts activities to protect health, including for students with asthma. Safeguarding and child-protection practices are integrated into school routines through established policies and designated staff.

Safeguarding is underpinned by Child Safety Policies and a Code of Conduct, with regular training for staff, volunteers, and students. Two staff members in each school are designated as Child Safety Specialists to raise awareness and respond to concerns. Policies and Procedures (English) govern safeguarding, with confidentiality maintained when concerns are raised. A confidential channel to raise concerns is available via an online form, and responses are handled by designated staff. The safeguarding framework integrates with on-site Health Office procedures to support student safety.
