Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school supports social-emotional development through a transformative, values-based leadership formation. Proyecto de Valores centers on four core values: Respect, Responsibility/Autonomy, Solidarity, and Honesty. These values guide student interactions and support the development of the social, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of learners. Wellbeing services include Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Psycho-pedagogy, and Psychology to strengthen learning, communication, and psychosocial growth. Programs such as Learning Support, Stimulation, Life Project, Career Guidance, and School Mitigation foster healthy habits, personal development, and a safe, respectful school climate. The School Mitigation Program promotes a safe social context based on respect, care for others, and positive treatment of all community members.

The Learning Support Program offers group and individualized strategies to promote habits, routines, executive functions, motor processes, and study techniques.

They combine academic work with real-life immersion to deepen language skills. Participants develop leadership and cross-cultural communication through immersive learning. The aim is to prepare students for global engagement through multilingual competence.

This service strengthens psycho-emotional and social dynamics to foster self-esteem, social skills, coping strategies, and conflict-resolution abilities. The wellbeing offerings support a balanced, resilient approach to learning. Counseling services are integrated with the broader Wellbeing and Support framework. The goal is to help students navigate academic and personal challenges with well-being.
