American School of Bombay - Secondary Campus

Social, Emotional & Ethical Learning is central to ASB's teaching. Faculty receive ongoing professional development to integrate SEE Learning into classrooms. SEE Learning connects teachers and students through a shared framework and helps students understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, show empathy, build relationships, and make responsible decisions. It is organized around three dimensions: Awareness, Compassion, and Engagement, and three domains: Personal (Self), Social (Others), and Systems (Interdependence of Systems). SEE Learning is an education program developed by Emory University and is used to foster emotional, social, and ethical intelligence.

ASB's Learning Support includes Educational Testing, Speech & Language Therapy, a School Psychologist, Learning Coaches, and a High Ability Program. English as Additional Language Specialists support multilingual learners (G1–G12). The program uses Multitiered Systems of Support to provide small-group or individualized services and collaborates with parents, classroom teachers, and administrators. Educational testing can be conducted on-site or via vetted external facilities; families may request tests in partnership with the school. The program also collaborates with outside services as needed to support learning. Inclusion is an ongoing commitment to meeting diverse learning needs.

ASB provides EAL support to multilingual learners from Pre-K to Grade 12. In Pre-K and Kindergarten language support is immersive within the classroom. Formal EAL assessments and placement begin in Grade 1, with three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Monitor Status. EAL teachers collaborate with mainstream teachers to co-plan, co-teach, and co-assess, with progress monitored and learners supported toward exiting the program when appropriate. EAL support is integrated with content areas to ensure access to curriculum.

Health & well-being is prioritized at ASB, with structures to support mental wellbeing. The School Psychologist works with counselors, teachers, parents, and students to provide support for learning differences and behavioral needs, and to offer short-term counseling. The Health Clinic provides care for acute and chronic illnesses, first aid, health education, and health screening; on-site pediatricians are available weekly. Elementary, middle, and high school counselors provide individual, group, or family counseling, classroom guidance, and support with college planning and course selection. Regular assemblies and SEE Learning emphasize wellbeing.

ASB maintains a Student Safeguarding Policy that is reviewed and published annually in handbooks and communicated to students and families. The school endorses the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and relies on preventative practices to reduce risk and respond to harmful situations. Training for all staff is provided annually.
