Global Academy International

Global Academy International places Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) at the core of student development, aiming to cultivate physical and emotional well-being and social competencies as key outcomes. Counseling staff along with teachers drive activities that promote students' character development and engagement in extracurricular life. Licensed trainers provide personal development and growth workshops for middle and high school students, including programs such as 'Strategic Personal Planning.' Students are encouraged to practice speaking and listening through Show and Tell, speeches, and participation in student council elections and graduation speeches. The SEL approach is integrated with diverse activities—sports, arts, health, technology, and volunteer work—designed to nurture creativity, leadership, and community contribution.

Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision is not publicly disclosed by Global Academy International. Public materials do not specify whether there is a dedicated SEN staff, a learning support program, or facilities designed for SEN students. The school operates an American Curriculum with English as the language of instruction, and no SEN-specific accommodations are described in publicly accessible content. There is no published information about inclusive education policies or referral processes for SEN. Consequently, SEN provision details are not publicly disclosed.

Global Academy International teaches in English. The curriculum is American with California Standards, and instruction focuses on integrating Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking, with content delivered through the English as a Foreign Language classroom. English is the language of instruction across the school. No explicit separate EAL program, dedicated EAL staff, or targeted EAL interventions are described in publicly accessible content. EAL support details are therefore not publicly disclosed beyond the general language instruction.

Mental wellbeing is a stated focus at Global Academy International, with the school highlighting physical and emotional well-being as essential to student progress and social competencies. Counseling staff and teachers collaborate to support students' mental wellbeing through guidance and targeted activities. Licensed trainers offer personal development and growth workshops (for example, 'Strategic Personal Planning') to students in middle and high school. Participation in extracurricular activities—sports, arts, health, technology, and volunteer work—contributes to wellbeing and leadership development. The school frames wellbeing as integral to preparing students for higher education and to contributing to the local and international community.

Safeguarding and behavior management are addressed via a Code of Conduct with a tiered disciplinary system. Offenses are managed with escalating steps: initial verbal warnings, followed by written warnings and informing the parent; subsequent offenses lead to written contracts, final warnings, or referral to the Behavioral Discipline Committee. The policy covers tardiness, classroom disruption, attendance, dress code, and other behaviors, with progressive consequences. The policy also includes transport-related sanctions, such as bus suspensions, and restrictions on participation in activities. Parental involvement is required at multiple steps in the disciplinary process.
