Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school provides a supportive environment focused on social and emotional development. The Middle School and Upper School emphasize wellbeing and social‑emotional awareness as part of the curriculum. The Advisory Program connects students with a trusted adult to support academic and personal growth.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school offers a Learning Support program for students with learning differences and an English as an Additional Language (EAL) program for non‑native English speakers. An Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) is created for students enrolled in the Learning Support program to address academic and behavioral needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English as an Additional Language (EAL) is provided for Grades 1–8 to support English‑language development. New students are assessed to determine EAL needs and placement, with differentiated instruction within an immersive and inclusive environment. The school operates as a fully English‑speaking school with daily French language study integrated into the program.

Mental Wellbeing

Wellbeing is a central focus across Middle and Upper School. The Middle School emphasizes wellbeing alongside academics, with counselors supporting educational and emotional needs. Guidance services and counseling programs provide ongoing support for students' social, emotional, and behavioral development.

Safeguarding

The safeguarding statement commits to safeguarding and promoting the well‑being of young people, with school personnel vigilant for signs of distress and trained to intervene. The policy aligns with the International Task Force on Child Protection, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and French law, and a dedicated safeguarding team leads the effort.
