Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Mada International Academy places a strong emphasis on social and emotional growth as part of its holistic development. The School Principal states high expectations for academic, social, and emotional growth and notes efforts to develop student leadership and a culture of caring. Life Skills, including Road to Success, ProtectEd, and Tafawwaq, build self-esteem and communication skills, with Daily 10-Minute Activities reinforcing this work. ProtectEd is a Canadian safety program taught in English that covers personal safety, ethics, bullying, internet safety, and personal/mental well-being. Scouts is a weekly activity that fosters social skills, teamwork, leadership, and confidence, and Mada's Kindergarten program emphasizes emotional development through play and hands-on activities.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Public information does not describe any dedicated SEN provision, SEN staff, or an inclusion department. The National and International Programs are described, including Life Skills, but SEN-specific interventions are not detailed. English-language instruction is a key feature of the International Program, with Arabic used for mandated subjects, but a dedicated SEN framework is not disclosed. The Kindergarten program describes language streams but does not mention SEN services. As a result, SEN provision is not publicly disclosed in Mada's available materials.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Mada uses bilingual curricula with English as the predominant language of instruction. In the International Program, English remains the medium across subjects, while Arabic is used for mandated Arabic language and Islamic Studies. The Cambridge Primary Program is delivered in English, with Arabic and Religion taught in Arabic in line with program offerings. In the National Program for Grades 9–12, English-language supplementary curricula and Life Skills are included. There is no publicly disclosed separate EAL staff or program beyond the bilingual framework.

Mental Wellbeing

Life Skills explicitly supports mental wellbeing as part of social-emotional development. ProtectEd is taught in English to all students and covers personal safety, ethics, bullying, internet safety, and personal/mental well-being. Daily 10-minute Activities provide regular opportunities to develop self-awareness, responsibility, critical thinking, and communication. Scouts weekly sessions foster social skills, teamwork, leadership, and confidence. The Kindergarten program also emphasizes emotional development through play and hands-on activities.

Safeguarding

ProtectEd is a Canadian school-safety program taught in English to all Mada students. ProtectEd covers personal safety, ethics, bullying, internet safety, and personal/mental well-being. Mada states it is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive learning environment that nurtures belonging and confidence. Life Skills supports safeguarding through its activities and the Scouts program, which foster social skills, teamwork, leadership, and responsible behavior. Together, these initiatives form Mada's safeguarding framework alongside the school's broader wellbeing efforts.
