Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Nishimachi's Student Services aims to maximize learning for all students and to help children thrive academically and socio-emotionally. In Grades 6–9, every student has 15 minutes of advisory daily to support social-emotional development.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Learning Services provides support for mild learning difficulties and is not designed to be a formal special education program. The Learning Specialist may conduct assessments, provide in-class support, or refer to external specialists; progress and goals are monitored for the following year.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Two English Language Specialist teachers provide English Language Services (ELS) in collaboration with classroom teachers, offering individualized or small-group instruction as needed. In spring, WIDA-MODEL (Measures of Academic Progress) is administered to all students receiving active ELS.

Mental Wellbeing

A school nurse is on the premises every school day from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., attending to injuries, illnesses, and overall wellbeing. Health guidelines describe procedures for illness and health management, while the Health Office and Student Services support students' health and socio-emotional development.

Safeguarding

Nishimachi maintains a Student Protection Policy aligned with Japanese law (Act No. 82) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; all employees are mandatory reporters of suspected abuse. Staff receive Student Protection training and sign the Employee Code of Conduct annually, with clear procedures for safeguarding concerns.
