Seisen International School supports social and emotional learning through three School Counselors (one for Kindergarten/Elementary, one for Middle School, and one for High School) who work with the School Nurse and the Learning Support Specialist to provide one-on-one and small-group support, deliver classroom lessons, and help students develop skills for managing stress, building self-esteem, and coping with challenges.
SEN support is provided by the Learning Support Specialist with push-in and pull-out services across KG/ES and MS/HS, supported by the Seisen Support Team (principals, counselors, nurse, and learning support specialists), with an action plan developed and periodic assessments; outside evaluations may be recommended when needs exceed internal resources.
