GSD International School Costa Rica

The Center is established with a commitment to addressing diversity, offering solutions to the therapeutic needs of each child to promote their physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. It is a multidisciplinary center specialized in pedagogical, educational, and therapeutic intervention. Together with the interdisciplinary team, the school focuses on enhancing socio-emotional, cognitive, communicative, and physical abilities, providing comprehensive and personalized support at every stage of development and offering the necessary help to face challenges and develop potential. The approach prioritizes the well-being of the child and their family, ensuring continuous and tailored accompaniment. This framework emphasizes collaboration with families and ongoing assessment to tailor interventions to each child.

We serve children with neurodevelopmental disorders; emotional and social difficulties; language, attention, learning, and behavioral difficulties; and those who need support to overcome academic challenges. We provide support at each stage through specialized programs in prevention, stimulation, and rehabilitation that cover cognitive, socio-emotional, language, and sensorimotor development. These programs involve the child and their family and social environment, ensuring a comprehensive and personalized approach.

Wellbeing is a central focus, with an emphasis on psycho-emotional well-being through individualized assessment of each child's needs to achieve holistic development. The Therapeutic Center supports socio-emotional development and emotional management, with a multidisciplinary team including psychology, language therapy, psycho-pedagogy, and occupational therapy addressing mental and developmental aspects. The aim is to foster personal growth and resilience within a supportive, integrated framework.

The Health Plan promotes a secure environment and is coordinated by the Health Department in collaboration with the Counseling Department, division heads, and teachers to ensure health and safety. The plan includes care for unforeseen health issues during the school day, care on request for minor health issues, and support for students with chronic conditions requiring follow-up. It provides health education and prevention actions, including meetings with students, classroom interventions, health tips for families, and action protocols for emergencies with staff training on emergencies and health needs such as allergies, intolerances, and special nutritional requirements. Continuous health management and updating of medical information for students are ensured.
