Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

TANDEM has deployed two social pedagogues at the Lyce9e Frane7ais since 2021 to support students with difficulties and provide psychological and social support within the school. They also advise parents and teachers and participate in working groups. The school organizes workshops to raise awareness about cyberbullying, violence, and addiction prevention. There are staff dedicated to addiction prevention and to psychological support, as well as trusted teachers and trusted student contacts on both the German and French sides for the different age groups. This network supports students206 social-emotional learning and wellbeing across the school.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Inclusion is a core strength of the FG profile. The school promotes differentiated instruction to support inclusion wherever possible. Inclusive practices include ongoing information about PAP/Nachteilsausgleich accommodations and adherence to the recommended measures. Differentiation in instruction is pursued to foster inclusion, and heterogeneous class formation is encouraged to mix students from different language backgrounds. The school emphasizes language support and inclusive practices as part of its approach to meeting diverse learner needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

A language-learning concept is developed with German and French as the pillars of language education at FG, and English and Spanish are promoted as additional languages alongside the languages of antiquity. The English, Spanish, and classical language offerings are integrated to broaden multilingual proficiency within the curriculum. The school emphasizes developing language learning beyond the core German and French instruction to support diverse language skills across the student body.

Mental Wellbeing

Two TANDEM social pedagogues provide psychological and social support for students in need, and they advise parents and teachers while participating in relevant working groups. The school hosts workshops on cyberbullying awareness, violence prevention, and addiction prevention to foster a safer, healthier school climate. A dedicated staff member for psychological support and a network of trusted teachers and trusted student contacts support mental wellbeing across the school, contributing to a supportive learning environment.

Safeguarding

There is a safeguarding framework that includes addiction-prevention and psychological-support provisions, a German- and French-speaking trusted-teacher network, and trusted-student contacts for age-appropriate safeguarding. Workshops address cyberbullying, violence prevention, and addiction prevention to enhance student safety. The school collaborates with the Jugendberufsagentur (youth employment agency) and counselors to provide guidance and support for students, with ongoing cooperation between parents and teachers to uphold safeguarding measures.
