Nord Anglia International School Rotterdam

The wellbeing programme is underpinned by core values guiding physical health, social development, and emotional resilience. A safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment supports every student's emotional and physical needs. The Primary and Secondary Student Councils give every child a voice and encourage leadership on important issues. The Health, Advisory and Physical Education (HAPE) curriculum teaches students how to look after their physical and emotional wellbeing. The Learning Support Department and Student Services Team include a social and emotional coach and an onsite school nurse, ensuring students are healthy, well, and content. The English as an Additional Language (EAL) team provides support for students who need extra help with English.

The Learning Support Programme provides the academic, behavioural, and social development assistance our students need to thrive. Students who may need academic, behavioural, or learning support are referred to our Student Services Team (SST), which includes the Head of Learning Support, the Principal, teachers, and parents, to assess needs and set goals. Our Learning Support Programme will improve student outcomes by developing the academic, emotional, social, and behavioural skills each student needs to succeed now and in the future. It provides support in the classroom and/or one-to-one, focusing on each student's strengths by personalising learning and modifying the curriculum. It fosters appreciation, acceptance, and respect for individuality, diversity, and each student's preferred learning style. It builds confidence, resilience, and a belief in the student's ability to succeed, supports development of friendships and important social skills, and creates a supportive, caring, and safe environment.

NAISR offers additional English language support to students from Year 1 to Year 11. EAL support is provided at no extra cost. Our expert EAL team create carefully planned strategies that ensure every child learns in a way that works for them. Our EAL programme supports students' linguistic, cultural, social, and emotional transition, while providing the appropriate scaffolding to help them succeed in and beyond the classroom. EAL teachers typically work alongside the student's teachers in the classroom, with direct one-to-one sessions possible when needed. EAL students are made to feel proud of their culture and native language, and their bilingual ability is viewed as an asset.
