SJI International Preschool supports Social and Emotional Learning primarily through its Pastoral Care Programme, which is anchored by the Virtues Project. This framework introduces 22 specific virtues to the students, helping them understand and practice traits such as compassion, honesty, cooperation, and respect. Educators integrate these concepts into daily activities to ensure the learning is practical and age-appropriate. The school aims to nurture social and emotional growth by focusing on character development within an inclusive classroom environment.
The school is not a specialist SEN institution, though it does utilize inclusionary practices to accommodate diverse developmental stages. Educators adapt teaching methods and classroom environments to support different learning styles where feasible. However, the preschool notes that it has limited resources to accommodate a wide spectrum of complex learning needs. Parents of children who require specific educational or developmental support must contact the admissions team directly to determine if the school can meet their child's requirements.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding specific EAL intervention programmes. Instead, language acquisition is supported through a standard Bilingual Literacy Programme across all year groups. Every classroom is staffed simultaneously by at least one English-speaking and one Mandarin-speaking educator. This daily immersion ensures that students are continuously exposed to both languages during their routine activities and lessons.
Student mental wellbeing is supported through a play-based curriculum that targets emotional and spiritual development alongside intellectual growth. The school utilizes its Pastoral Care Programme and the Virtues Project to help children build resilience, confidence, and positive peer relationships.
