Leading Asia Myanmar International School (LAMIS)

LAMIS adopts a whole‑child, inquiry‑based approach that places social and emotional well‑being at the core of learning. The Middle School (IB MYP) program explicitly develops SEL‑related competencies such as Affective, Mindfulness, Emotional management, Self‑motivation, and Reflection. The PE/PSPE curriculum promotes knowledge, attitudes, and skills that contribute to the physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and social well‑being of the individual. Staff support for SEL includes teacher assistants who monitor and support classrooms, and a Parent Liaison Team is available for consultation. The education programme addresses students' academic, social, and emotional well‑being as a central aim of the school's approach to learning.

The admissions process requires parents to inform the school of any special educational needs, such as learning difficulties or giftedness. If the family fails to disclose information about these needs, the school reserves the right to close or terminate enrollment. If students need more help with language ability, the school provides additional language classes with the option of receiving extra support in class and after school. The kinds of SEN the school can support and whether it is a specialist SEN institution are not publicly disclosed. The admissions process shows that SEN is considered in placement decisions, indicating attention to educational, social, emotional, and physical dimensions.

LAMIS offers English as an Additional Language (EAL) support according to students' needs, ensuring equal access to the curriculum and school life. The program provides support in listening, speaking, reading and writing, and is based on an inclusive model. English is the language of instruction for all classes, with Myanmar taught in Myanmar classes through a bilingual approach that increases in complexity as students progress. In Myanmar classes, teachers and students use a combination of English and Myanmar, and Myanmar is taught as an Additional Language or Mother Tongue as appropriate. Mandarin is taught to all students at levels adjusted for different abilities, with bilingual Mandarin/English teachers.

Mental wellbeing is supported as part of LAMIS's holistic education program and PSPE curriculum. The Middle School program includes mindfulness and emotional management as explicit components. The IB MYP competencies include affective development, mindfulness, emotional management, self‑motivation, and reflection. The program fosters personal identity development and an understanding of the student's place in their social and cultural context. The education programme addresses students' social and emotional well‑being as a core consideration of learning.

Safety and security are stated as a top priority, with drop‑off/pick‑up procedures and visitor sign‑in at the gate. The admissions process requires parents to inform the school of any special educational needs, and notes that information provided is used to determine suitability and placement. It also states that if information is not provided, enrollment may be terminated. The admissions process mentions that language support may be offered as part of safeguarding student access to the curriculum.
