Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school centers on the whole-child, including socioemotional development. Student Support offers a wide spectrum of programs and initiatives that address socioemotional growth and well-being. The Student Support team includes professional therapists, cluster teachers, and inclusion teachers who collaborate to foster an inclusive community. Through these efforts, the school supports maturation, adaptation, and educational development for students. Family engagement and partnerships with external professionals further support students' social skills, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school provides remedial support in core academic foundational skills and executive functioning. In-class support is delivered through collaborative problem-solving and ongoing collaboration between teachers. Occupational therapy is available, and speech and language therapy is provided. The school implements PIAR (Plan Individual de Ajustes Razonables) to create individualized programs, instructional adjustments, and targeted support for student progress. The Student Support team works with families and external professionals to address learning differences and related educational needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The curriculum is taught 80% in English and 20% in Spanish. The school is bilingual and employs native-English speakers from abroad. It is the only institution in Santander authorized by the College Board to administer international tests. Project-based learning is embedded throughout the curriculum, with language development integrated across courses. Graduates earn a Colombian and American double degree.

Mental Wellbeing

The program explicitly supports mental wellbeing through socioemotional development as part of overall student growth. Therapists and inclusion staff work to support maturation, adaptation, and educational wellbeing within an inclusive community. The school emphasizes social skills and self-esteem through co-curricular activities and partnerships with families and external professionals. These efforts connect emotional well-being with academic learning, guided by Universal Design for Learning principles and collaborative teaching.

Safeguarding

The policy defines the right to protection as outlined in the Code of Childhood and Adolescence (Law 1098 of 2006). The school has a role to protect students and ensure a safe learning environment. Educators and staff identify situations and students at risk through observation and interaction over time. There is a moral and legal obligation to offer support, protection, and necessary assistance to manage these circumstances for the student and family. Safeguarding is integrated into school practice to protect student wellbeing.
