Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The Social-Emotional Department supports student well-being, builds confidence, and inspires growth.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The Special Education Department provides specialized instruction and advisory services to eligible students. An Individual Support Plan (ISP) offers a comprehensive, student-centered framework with personalized goals, strategies, and progress tracking. Academic Support provides additional help in the classroom as needed.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The English Language Learners (ELL) Program supports students in core curriculum and English language development. ELL classes are typically held three to four times per week, sometimes in small groups with peers at similar language levels. The program fosters a supportive, inclusive learning environment with language buddies, cultural exchange activities, and technology integration to boost engagement and proficiency.

Mental Wellbeing

AIS provides comprehensive university counseling beginning in ninth grade through graduation. Counselors offer academic guidance and emotional support, and provide a safe space for students to discuss concerns. They also organize group sessions and workshops on stress management, study skills, and career planning, and work with teachers and parents to support student success.
