ISL offers a Learning Assistance Programme (LAP) with one-to-one volunteer support for students of any age, addressing needs such as language support, development of self-esteem and socialisation. LAP volunteers are trained and matched with students for regular sessions. The Learning Support team collaborates with students, teachers and families to foster healthy development and prepare lifelong, independent global citizens.
Learning Support provides services for students with mild learning differences, offering inclusive and differentiated instruction, in-class support, short-term interventions and small-group instruction. Supports are determined through collaborative planning with students, parents, teachers and specialists, and may include collaboration with external professionals. The program notes that certain services are not provided on-site, including speech and language therapy, fine/gross/sensory motor therapy, intensive or long-term socio-emotional therapy, and complete psychoeducational evaluations. Testing accommodations require a full psycho-educational or psychological evaluation by a qualified external professional; parents should consult the school before pursuing external services.
